How to enter recovery mode on El Capitan on VirtualBox?

[j4hjgf]

I have El Capitan installed on VirtualBox 5.0 under Windows 7 host. It's installed from original dmg from App store. It seems to work ok.

I need to boot into OS X's recovery mode to disable System Integrity Protection.

I've found the following instruction to boot into it:
"hold down Command-R and hold it until you see an Apple logo and a progress bar"

As I understand, command key is windows key on PC.

So I've tried many times to hold left windows key + R immediately after the VM start but it doesn't help. One of the problems I think is that Apple logo appears almost immediately after VM start so I don't have much time to press it.

 

To have logo appeared I had to execute the following command

VBoxManage setextradata VMName "VBoxInternal2/EfiBootArgs" " "

otherwise there was text mode with messages during bootup.

 

Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
 

So, don't you know how to enter recovery mode on El Capitan on VirtualBox?

 

Or if you know how to do to this in other versions of OS X or how to do it without VirtualBox, please share some info.
