Thank you for providing this information!
I had to type exit and find the Boot Order option in the menu but after putting the correct one on top I could finally use my image again. I think the partitions on it ran out of storage.

This worked for me. For others, the option to change Boot Order is in the Mgmt option in the menu. Change the boot order so the disk on the top.
This did not work for me, However anyone in need of an ugly fix let me know as I was able to get back up and runniing
Hi guys,
sorry for my English :D. I was able to come up with some workaround.
once you land in the Shell>
1.fs0:
2.edit startup.nsh
3. now in the editor enter the location of the BOOTx64.EFI “\EFI\BOOT\BOOTx64.efi”
4.still in editor left ctrl+s = save and hit Enter to save
5. left crtl+q = quit
you can now reboot the machine, it still lands in the shell but after a 1s it starts loading.
Hope this helps for now.

Please bear with a novice taking his first steps into Home Assistant land, but I’m having the same issue as this thread ending up at the Shell> Please can you explain how to do the workaround, in simple terms.
1.fs0:
2.edit startup.nsh
3. now in the editor enter the location of the BOOTx64.EFI “\EFI\BOOT\BOOTx64.efi”
4.still in editor left ctrl+s = save and hit Enter to save
5. left crtl+q = quit
I don’t know how to change to fs0
I just had a power failure and when I restarted vm I get “Autoboot” in the VM cmd window but nothing happens…
Same here, have you found a solution?
I had a backup, so reinstalling was the only solution.
Newb here trying to help other newbs.
I ran into this problem after “releasing” my vdi which was associated with the VBox VM I was using for HA. After reattaching it the boot order got messed up within the VM which booted from shell and had me confused for half a day.
To fix this I typed “exit” in the shell which brought up what I presume to be the bios for the machine. In here I was able to manually boot from the right source and eventually change the boot order.
Hope this helps somebody

Just a note. I had the same thing happen after a reboot on my Linux Mint 20.2 system. I ended up shutting down and rebooting. While waiting, I started looking for any help on this… and found this thread. I am so glad to see that there are ways around it. Finally, I checked and it had rebooted correctly. Now… the reminder… backup up my Virtual system.
If you end up in the EFI Shell it means that the boot options have changed, what to do is if you’re on the EFI shell hit the right control + r to force VBox to restart and then immediatly tap F2 rapidly, you should end up in the bios, if you end up on the shell repeat until you get to the bios
Change the boot order and move the shell to the end and the PXE option to second last then save and reboot and it should start booting the OS normally again.
Had the same thing happen when I cloned a VM in VirtualBox. I tried the edit with fs0, then saved the edit and just typed exit, because I thought that would get me out. It took me to the BIOS interface, and when I picked the HA disk in the boot order, it immediately booted right up. So it looks like just fixing the boot order solves the problem.
This work to fix previous problem, but now I have enp0s3 ipv4 address problem…any help? Restarting router didn’t help this time.
Edit: My fix was to change the Bridge Adapter from ethernet to wifi.
Lifesaver!
1.fs0: gives me: ‘fso: is not a valid mapping’.
I think it’s just my luck. I’m meant to have problems every step of the way lol.
I am also stuck at boot (using KVM virt-manager).
I tried entering the boot64 location but it does not seem to help. It just goes to console and then writes
Shell> SC in 1 seconds to skip startup.nsh or any other key to continue.
Shell> \EFI\BOOT\BOOTx64.efi
Script Error Status: Unsupported (line number 1)

Nothing happens afterwards.
Also tried manual installation. Also fails.

Try this guide to configure your KVM.
I have an Oracle VM Virtual Box running my HA.
In my case this had to do with the Boot Sequence that follows some default when you create a new VM
The solution below is easy and permanent.
Enter into the BIOS setup of the VM (possible pressing ESC when you see this screen):
Now search for the option to change the Boot Order.
This is what I had:
Make sure that your UEFI VBOX HARDDISK comes first.
Make sure to save the change, reboot and everything should run smoothly. Good luck!
I tried all suggestions posted here, but no success yet.
In my case the problem is with cloned VMs. I want to clone my VM to move it to another host machine, as well as to have a full backup. The cloning seems to work fine (it generates files after writing for a long time), but the clones boot to this UEFI shell.
The exit… change boot order method does not work here. Even after placing the VBOX HARDDISK at the top of the list, it still reboots to the UEFI shell.
The “fs0:” gave me the same result as Jason had.
Any new ideas?
