The first (OS) disk cannot be used to share files. NOTE: during virtual machine configuration, make sure to add a second disk.

Since the Pi 4, the bootcode.bin file is written in the onboard EEPROM of the Pi 4, making reading or writing to the SDcard obsolete. It initializes the hardware and subsequently, boots the linux kernel and specifies which root file system to mount. These files are, firmware initialization routines and some kernel parameters. Previously, when an earlier model Raspberry Pi ran it’s boot cycle, the first action programmed to take was to take a look in the first FAT32 (boot) partition on the SD card, looking for bootcode.bin and cmdline.txt. Although there was already boot support for earlier models, the Raspberry Pi 4 has an EEPROM on board in which we can upload PXE capable bootcode, making the use of the SDcard obsolete.
The makers of the Raspberry Pi have recently been announcing boot support for the Raspberry Pi 4.
