[Solved] VirtualBox Will not boot from the right locatoin.

I did Arch installation per installation guide, but if I do a cold reboot('sudo reboot now' does not produce this issue), the system will not load from '/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI'.  I get this screen:

I checked everything I can find and think of.  On the other hand, if I press F12 quickly, I can get this screen:

if I choose 'Boot Manager' this screen comes up:

Now if I choose EFI hard drive, system works fine.

Also the system can be rebooted

I am out of options where I can find the reason for it not defaulting to boot from the /boot/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI.

Any pointers would be appreciated.

This is on Virtual Box 5, Arch Linux with linux-lts kernel, but the same happens with linux kernel.  Also I do have the EFI option on the VirtualBox checked.

Dumb question but did you eject the archiso? It clearly states "archiso" in your first screenshot.

WOW, absolutely right!!!  In Virtual box, the boot order configuration did not work.  I ejected the drive and now it works fine...

Hm... This is usually solved by creating a text file called startup.nsh on your ESP. In that text file you just write the path to the bootloader EFI program you want to run; in this case "\EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.EFI" (Yes, backslashes! Don't use quotation marks).
