Comment (by kallisti5):
I've been testing in Virtualbox under waddlesplash's guidance. Nothing
ever goes well there for me (most of the time VirtualBox's EFI doesn't see
Haiku even though it should and I can boot it manually from the EFI shell,
the rest of the time I get a completely unrelated panic.)
EFI works reliably every time under qemu for me. It also works on real
hardware.
I'm definitely not discounting there may be regressions under
VirtualBox... but given how random Virtualbox has been it's hard getting a
baseline. A VirtualBox upgrade could have also changed the behavior.
If you're testing this, please be sure:
* EFI is enabled under System > Motherboard
* You're attaching Haiku's boot media identically.
* You're using valid media.
* Don't just rename the .iso to .hdd or something, VirtualBox wants
you to convert it to a VDI for the "iso" to be a "hard disk" with
{{{vboxmanage convertfromraw haiku-anyboot.iso haiku-disk.vdi}}}
