VirtualBox is being actively developed with frequent releases and has an ever growing list of features, supported guest operating systems and platforms it runs on. Presently, VirtualBox runs on Windows, Linux and Mac hosts and supports a large number of guest operating systems including but not limited to Windows (NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10), DOS/Windows 3.x, Linux (2.4, 2.6, 3.x and 4.x), Solaris and OpenSolaris, OS/2, and OpenBSD.

Not only is VirtualBox an extremely feature rich, high performance product for enterprise customers, it is also the only professional solution that is freely available as Open Source Software under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL). The trick is using VMWare Fusion to create the VM and then you can run it in Virtualbox.VirtualBox is a family of powerful x86 virtualization products for enterprise as well as home use. the one on my blog linked to the blog post linked above but there are others. There are a number of tutorials out there that can help with this.

The trick here is that Virtualbox can directly use a VM created in Fusion, so when you are done with the install and have a bootable macOS VM in Fusion, you can delete Fusion and use Virtualbox. I'm not going to quote the whole blog post here but you set up a VM in Fusion for the version of macOS you want and then create an ISO/DMG using a a few easy terminal commands then select that image as your bootable install media in VMWare Fusion and away you go with the standard macOS install procedure. These instructions involve Mojave but should work for earlier versions of macOS. If you follow the instructions here, that should get you a working install of a macOS that you can use. I did this with macOS Mojave but it should be simpler with an earlier version of macOS as long as you have the installer from Apple. VMWare will boot and install macOS on a VM on a Mac running macOS out of the box with no complaints or problems.
And as long as you are virtualizing macOS on an actual, physical, Apple branded Macintosh it should work.
You can download it and use it for this for free. The best way to do this is to create a VM in VMWare Fusion. I see the virtualbox people have not fixed that issue yet. I remember doing something similar to this a while back and ran into the same issues. I assume Guest Additions would have installed, if an older version of VirtualBox was being used. However, Guest Additions failed to install with the following popup message.

I was able to upgrade to OS X 10.6.8 and enable the 64 bit kernel. In other words, I did not need to change the "Audio Controller". I had no problems installing Snow Leopard on a iMac (21.5-inch, Mid 2011) with High Sierra 10.13.6 and Virtual Box version 6.1.12 r139181 (Qt5.6.3). Guest Additions failed to install with the following popup message. sudo systemsetup -setkernelbootarchitecture x86_64 I enabled the 64 bit kernel by entering the following command, then restarting.

This change results in a Snow Leopard without sound.Īfter installing, I immediately upgraded to OS X 10.6.8 by downloading Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to the host, transferring to the virtual machine and installing. I needed to set the "Audio Controller" to ICH AC97, otherwise Snow Leopard would not boot after the installation completed. I used a Snow Leopard ISO file created from a Snow Leopard OS X 10.6 DVD purchased from Apple. FS1:\System\Library\CoreServices\boot.efi The simple solution is to enter the following at the Shell> prompt. I chose to boot from FS1:\System\Library\CoreServices\boot.efi. I solved your problem by have the firmware boot from z file. I am using an iMac (21.5 inch, Late 2013) with Catalina 10.15.7 and the same version of Virtual Box.
