I am using Parallels 15 with access to my physical partition to create a VM for Windows 10. I want to modify the VM to reference a file copy of my EFI partition so I can skip the timeout when booting the VM but keep the timeout when physically booting. I made a copy of the partition using:
dd if=/dev/rdisk0s1 of=EFI.hds bs=4m
Looking at the structure of DiskDescription.xml, I changed:
<Storage>
<Start>40</Start>
<End>409640</End>
<Blocksize>2048</Blocksize
<Image>
<GUID>{5fbaabe3-6958-40ff-92a7-860e329aab41}</GUID>
<Type>Bootcamp_UID</Type>
<File>0C1AA562-E845-4807-8EED-4DBDE6F5260A</File>
</Image>
</Storage>
to:
<Storage>
<Start>40</Start>
<End>409640</End>
<Blocksize>2048</Blocksize>
<Image>
<GUID>{5fbaabe3-6958-40ff-92a7-860e329aab41}</GUID>
<Type>Plain</Type>
<File>EFI.hds</File>
</Image>
</Storage>
However, the VM will not boot now. Any ideas on how to accomplish this?
