The program will then begin working and installing the OS as shown below and will reboot when completed. If, for some reason, you do not get taken to the screen shown in the image above and instead you see a text based (Shell 2.0) screen with yellow and black text, enter the following string to load the GRUB loader from the image below: FS0:\EFI\BOOT\BOOTX640

Since this tutorial is using VirtualBox 5.0, you can download this version of the VBox Guest Additions ISO. It is normally the sixth item down from the top on the index page. Once you get to the download page, click on the option that corresponds with your version of Virtual Box then download the “VBoxGuestAdditions_X.X.X.iso” file. The second download is VirtualBox Additions which can be notoriously difficult to find which is why I recommend clicking on this link rather than trying to find it yourself.
