Virtualbox-iso: NVMe not exporting properly

[ghost]

This issue was originally opened by @breisig as hashicorp/packer#8317. It was migrated here as a result of the Packer plugin split. The original body of the issue is below.

Overview of the Issue

I am running the latest packer 1.4.5 which now supports running NVMe support in the latest Virtualbox [I am running the latest 6.0.14]. To allow virtualbox to boot an NVMe device, you have force it in EFI mode and set the ISO interface to sata to allow ISO booting in EFI mode using the following config options.

      "hard_drive_interface": "pcie",
      "iso_interface": "sata",
      "vboxmanage": [
        [ "modifyvm", "{{.Name}}", "--firmware", "efi" ]
      ]

So it looks like packer sets the NVMe device and my CentOS 8 source can install onto it but it seems when packer is shutting down the virtualbox image and and it tries to export, the following error message occurs.

==> virtualbox-iso: Preparing to export machine...
    virtualbox-iso: Deleting forwarded port mapping for the communicator (SSH, WinRM, etc) (host port 4429)

==> Some builds didn't complete successfully and had errors:
--> virtualbox-iso: Error exporting virtual machine: VBoxManage error: VBoxManage.exe: error: Cannot handle medium attachment: storageBus is 7, channel is 0, device is 0
VBoxManage.exe: error: Details: code VBOX_E_NOT_SUPPORTED (0x80bb0009), component MachineWrap, interface IMachine, callee IUnknown

==> Builds finished but no artifacts were created.

This issue doesn't happen when using setting it from pcie -> back to sata mode nd putting it in bios mode.
