5. Fix EFI Internal Shell on macOS Catalina

When you encounter an internal EFI shell, you may see an error or notification. The most common problem is due to Apple's file system (APFS). APFS is Apple's new file system for Apple products, such as MacOS, iPads, watchOS, TVOS, and other Apple products. APFS does not work perfectly with a VirtualBox especially with macOS Catalina.
When you face such issues, you need to download an ISO boot from the APFS boot image and upload a driver from it. After downloading, you can run the macOS Catalina virtual machine again.
To resolve this issue, download the APFS boot and follow the instructions in the images below.
UEFI requires intervention, and you need to help it locate and run the operating system-specific boot firmware that contains macOS boot.efi.
In our case, after installing macOS Catalina in a virtual machine I manually directed EFI to boot into macOS for the first time, and then macOS automatically repaired the boot partition, and subsequent boots worked correctly.
We managed to solve these UEFI problems with the following commands and follow the screenshots which are very detailed.
* At the UEFI prompt exit
You will be introduced to an EFI graphical interface
* Select and click Boot Maintenance Manager
* Select and click Boot From File
* Select and click Catalina HD
* Select and click macOS Install Data
* Select and click Locked Files
* Select and click Boot Files
* And finally click boot.efi
The installation will continue and you will start in the macOS Catalina operating system.
