Will not boot after installation

Stuck in shell. Always went back to Mojave image until I removed it. Now it simply doesn't boot.

@101arrowz have you upgraded VirtualBox to the latest version? I've done it and haven't had any issues like yours. I did have to install the Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack which is what altered me I wasn't running the newest version of VirtualBox. It's hard to say what happened with yours if you don't provide anymore context but I'd look the troubleshooting section and reread the directions. I had to mess with it a little bit to get it all working.

@101arrowz I spoke too soon. It looks like VirtualBox can't boot from an APFS using EFI. You can get around this by installing a driver but I found using this other script to be easier. It already installs the driver plus everything else.
