===== Boot failed after installation Sparky in Virtualbox EFI mode =====

Installing SparkyLinux inside the VirtualBox with Efi Mode, the installed system can be not able to boot.

In most cases the VirtualBox will launch the EFI Shell.

To manually launch Sparky 64 bit version, run:

   fs0:\EFI\sparky\grubx64.efi

To manually launch Sparky 32 bit version, run:

   fs0:\EFI\sparky\grubia32.efi

If you used [[partitioning#virtual_machines|automatically partitioning]], the **efi** file has been installed on **/dev/sda1** partition. If you set other partition for **efi** file, change the partition number.

If you have launched Sparky manually, fix the startup as follow:

64 bit:

   sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
   cd /mnt
   sudo echo '\EFI\sparky\grubx64.efi' > startup.nsh

32 bit:

   sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
   cd /mnt
   sudo echo '\EFI\sparky\grubia32.efi' > startup.nsh

Then reboot:

   reboot
