Could you point me to a guide to install opencore after installing the os to the vm?

OpenCore cautions against using any guide except the official specification due to "unavoidable obsolescence". Almost every new version of OpenCore breaks compatibility with its old configuration files. OpenCore development moves so fast that by the time a guide is released, it's already incompatible with the latest version. That said, Dortania seems to be keeping an up-to-date OpenCore guide.

For the very basic boot functionality you put the OpenCore.efi and config.plist files in the ESP partition path /EFI/OC/ and add the line load fs0:\EFI\OC\OpencCore.efi to the VirtualBox EFI Internal Shell startup.nsh file or execute it manually. From there on I suggest you get intimately familiar with the official documentation.

I took a look at OpenCore 0.6.6 and per usual it has amazing new features.
