How to copy file from inside virtual machine/box to its host fs as it run bootable USB but cannot read /dev/sda?

gnomebox didn't have any:

Code:

# lsblk -f
NAME    FSTYPE LABEL    UUID                         FSAVAIL FSUSE% MOUNTPOINT
loop0    squashfs                                     0       100   /mnt/livecd

sda                                                                         
sr0     iso9660     Gentoo amd64 20210210T214         0       100   /mnt/cdrom

Not yet doing any else than listing above on spec.: 2GB RAM 21GB disk

I gather you are running VirtualBox?

I assume sda is a virtual drive you created when you created the virtual machine?

From the VM's perspective it looks like a real hard drive and you would partition and format it just like the real thing.
