AFAIK, startup.nsh is entirely up to the user and optional -- not
something that OS installers are normally supposed to mess with.  The OS
is supposed to make calls to the EFI firmware to register its boot
loader in the EFI variables and that tells the firmware what to boot,
but virtual machines have no persistent flash memory to save those
variables, so that is where that breaks down.
