Now when you boot the VM again you get dropped to an EFI shell. If that happens, simply power off the VM and remove the installation ISO. Now if you don’t do anything the VM will reboot back to the installer, which we do not want. Setup the Disk first before installing (Erasing works the best if you don’t care about the defaults) via the Disk UtilityĮxit the Disk Utility and Install MacOS, this takes approx 10 minutes and then suddenly reboots (for me this happens when its 2 minutes remaining)
Now boot the VM and the MacOS installer will come up after some time. $ VBoxManage setextradata "High Sierra" "VBoxInternal/Devices/smc/0/Config/GetKeyFromRealSMC" 1 $ VBoxManage setextradata "High Sierra" "VBoxInternal/Devices/smc/0/Config/DeviceKey" "ourhardworkbythesewordsguardedpleasedontsteal(c)AppleComputerInc" $ VBoxManage setextradata "High Sierra" "VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiBoardProduct" "Iloveapple" $ VBoxManage setextradata "High Sierra" "VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiSystemVersion" "1.0" $ VBoxManage setextradata "High Sierra" "VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiSystemProduct" "iMac11,3" I have used “High Sierra” directory name here since this is what I have it called, your can be different (Depends on how you named the VM during creation in VirtualBox) Networking and other options are pretty straight forward, attach the extracted ISO as your boot media, and before we boot make sure to set these in the terminal
So lets first get the MacOS 10.13.4 iso (You can get the DMG and convert it to ISO, but I have little disk space now and just used a ready available ISO from the below link)Įxtract the rar and setup the new VM as follows in VirtualBox The process below can be replicated on Windows as well, but the networking part at the end will of course be different. Im running VirtualBox 5.2.10 on X86_64 Linux. A short post here that might help somebody struggling to install the latest MacOS in VirtualBox on Linux.
