Hangs with black screen at Starting VM 'macOS-VM' (3 minutes in the VM)... #93

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: Setup: on macOS 10.14.6 trying to create a Catalina virtual machine

  1. run make all
  2. VirtualBoxVM -> macOS-VM hangs with black screen at the first Starting VM 'macOS-VM' (3 minutes in the VM)...
  3. when pressing enter it successfully ejects the installer medium and starts the vm ending on Trying to find a bootable device... Failed. as of course nothing has been installed in step 2

Expected behavior That it boots the installer medium and Catalina gets installed. I used this script earlier to install other versions than Catalina and it always worked like a charm.

Additional context The log file seems fine except for the following error. Not sure what it means though:

Seems Oracle will fix it in the next update: https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/19188

@AlexanderWillner VB v6.1.4 was released yesterday. I've just upgraded my guest Catalina to 10.15.3 without issues.
