UTM SE: startup.nsh

[matermel0n]

UTM SE windows XP, just does not work.
every time i try to boot it, it says press ESC in 5 seconds to skip startup.nsh or any other key to continue.
Shell>

And i do not know how to press ESC, someone help!!!

Configuration (required)

• UTM Version: UTM SE first version
• OS Version: 17.4
• Device Model: Base Iphone 11
• Is it jailbroken (name jailbreak used)? No
• How did you install UTM? App Store

Pay attention to the screen preceding the screen that results in the Shell>
You need to hit a key before getting to that screen to start the boot/install process. At least that's what worked for me.
It took a very long time to install, including a couple of times it seemed to get frozen resulting in me restarting (after the initial installation was completed). On my M4 iPad, I can only say that it's sloooooooow. Really, really, slooooooow. (It does seem to be a little faster on second boot. Even slow, it's remarkable to see an x86 OS running as a VM on Apple Silicon. Thanks to the UTM contributors for making this happen.)

Yes. It works.

You accidentally enabled UEFI,
go into QEMU settings and disable it

[rxliuli]

Yes, I manually disabled it, and it took effect. But I don't remember manually enabling it...
