I am confused by this process as well. If I issue the command efibootmgr -v I get the following output, and, I don't understand how that information relates to the segmented disk image that is being used when Fedora is run from a virtualbox vm running under windows, and in particular when I am booting Fedora via grub.
What part of it do you not understand?
efibootmgr -v BootCurrent: 0005
This is the entry you're currently running.
Timeout: 0 seconds BootOrder: 0005,0000,0001,0003,0004
This is the order that the entries will be tried in.
Boot0005* Fedora HD(1,GPT,5a166b43-c099-429b-9587-4cc29389e1cf,0x800,0x12c000)/File(\EFI\fedora\shimx64.efi)
I don't know the all the specific details, but this entry describes how to load the grub bootloader to start Fedora: "HD(1,GPT,5a166b43-c099-429b-9587-4cc29389e1cf,0x800,0x12c000)" identifies the hard drive and EFI partition to use. "File(\EFI\fedora\shimx64.efi)" gives the path to the executable file on that partition to load and run.
