Description
IF you install Monterey on VirtualBox, you're not able to boot into Recovery Mode via the VB BIOS (e.g. "Boot from file") because there's no boot.efi file shown under the GUID in the Recovery Mode partition. This issue appears to have started with BIg Sur. If you access the filesystem with the UEFI Shell, you'll see that there are a bunch of files names boot.efi.<some string> in that partition, but this new naming system is obviously not recognized by VirtualBox.
This problem reproduces with the latest VirtualBox, VB 7.
