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.
I understand this is the entry that is being booted from, but I don't
understand why it is that entry rather than boot0003, which looks to be
the vm disk partition, when I am running fedora within a vm. I don't
understand how this relates to the segmented disk image that virtualbox
is using for fedora, as it is not a physical partition as far as I am
aware. Virtualbox may make it look like a partition but I'm not up on
the internal workings of virtualbox.

Steve
