Hello Crystal,
unluckily disabling efifb has no effect.
I attached the dmesg for both vbox installs.
Thanks!

Hello,
I installed OpenBSD as guest in VirtualBox (7.1.x and 7.2.x) both using MBR
and EFI.
Please provide the dmesg from both installs.
The EFI installation has troubles with the graphic driver:
dmesg | grep VGA
"VMware SVGA II" rev 0x00 at pci0 dev2 funcion 0 not configured
so that the wsdisplay0 at efifb0 is used instead of vga.
What happens if you disable the efifb driver in the bootloader?
