Get into UEFI shell after completed installation #71

Script completed without errors and says: "That's it. Enjoy your virtual machine."

But I get into UEFI shell instead of macOS. There are some files that can't be found.

VirtualBox 5.2.18 (on Linux Mint)

The script appears to have misplaced the files from AppleSupport-v2.0.4-RELEASE.zip. Without them, VirtualBox can't boot from APFS partitions. Please attach the virtual disk image to your favorite Linux distro and mount the EFI partition then extract all the .efi files from the archive into /path/to/efi/partition/EFI/driver/

Alternatively, restart the installation and make sure every step executes properly, as the script is prone to breaking due to errant keystrokes.

Thank you! I've more carefully applied script instructions and everything was ok.
