VM fails to start
See original GitHub issueThe .sh files runs with no errors, but when I try to start the VM in order to install the OS I get the following message “Error: failed to start machine. Error message: PIIX3 configuration error: “FirmwareRevision” is longer than 8 bytes (VERR_INVALID_PARAMETER)”
Maybe errors in the .sh file:
VBoxManage setextradata “$1” VBoxInternal/Devices/pcbios/0/Config/DmiSystemVendor ‘Dell Inc.’
VBoxManage setextradata “$1” VBoxInternal/Devices/pcbios/0/Config/DmiSystemVersion ‘string:’
controller=VBoxManage showvminfo "$1" --machinereadable | grep SATA
if [[ -z “$controller” ]]; then
