Public bug reported: Attempting to boot LiveCD under VirtualBox in EFI mode falls to the console shell. Checking the VT7, the issue seems equal to #834592, but no mentioned workarounds that I've tried helps.
At the same time, running installation from the same disk in the same VM go without much of an issue. There's some minor rendering issues, but nothing that could prevent from continuing the installation process.
