Virtualbox 2017 Iso Create The

Its name is now: OSXInstaller.iso Create the Virtual Machine 1.

You can do this by clicking the blue icon (new) at the top: 2.

Effectively simulating a device (the installation disk in this case) attached to our mac.

Well use SPUD, that from the documentation: SPUD causes a DDM and an Apple Partition Scheme partition map with a single entry to be written.

The command is conceptually identical to what we did before with InstallESD.dmg, but this time we attach the disk we just created OSXInstaller.cdr.dmg.

Click the CD icon on the right and pick the Choose Virtual Optical Disk File from the menu that will pop-up.

As you can see in the following image in fact the only visible drive is the CD with the installer.

For step 5 you need to ensure that the name matches, and I know that spaces in the name could create some issuesconfusion.

Anyway yes, the main goal is to remove the broken link, so using finder to remove it works as well.

I really like how you were able to present the information so that it is very useful for people with a wide range of technical knowledge.

Novices can just follow step-by-step and likely get to a successful conclusion.

Those with more technical knowledge of OS X can skim through and find the key bits of information they are missing to accomplish the task.

The curious (of all types) can benefit from the concise explanations of why these commands and options are being employed.

Im thinking specifically of the Create ISO from installer section.).

The only slight snag I ran into was after running the OS X install process, the VM didnt just shut down, it restarted without giving me a chance to remove the installation iso from the virtual optical drive as you describe in the next step.

During the restart, my VM appeared to get stuck and I thought maybe it was trying to boot from the installer iso again.

I just powered down (closed) the VM, removed the iso in the settings as you describe, and started the VM again.

Success.

You got exactly the reason why I write these posts, that are not only aimed at solving the problem but more importantly want to offer an opportunity to understand the concepts behind it if you are technical or simply curious (as you said).

Very clear, very detailed, and the first one I found that actually works (I used it to install Sierra in a VirtualBox on Sierra.) Thank you Riccardo.

One thing I ran into still, on Mac Mini 2012, was that the USB controller really have to be USB 1.1 (OHCI).

In my case I selected ICH9 Chipset, and checked the three checkboxes: Enable IO APIC, Enable EFI, Hardware Clock in UTC Time.

Not all of them are relevant for the issue you are describing, so Im just mentioning it to allow you to know how my one is configured.

If you could look at the last few lines of the text that is displayed on the screen during boot maybe it would help narrow down the cause.

Or, maybe not, because the last message probably tells you the last step that did complete successfully, while the real problem might be more related to the what the NEXT message would have said but never appears) Brian H.

In the spirit of appreciation I will point out two (very minor) corrections or clarifications for any readers.
