How to install Mac OS X snow leopard 10.6 on a virtual machine

Some time ago, thanks to the whim, we often saw the advantages of tinyfoo and other prawns on Twitter. I just installed a Mac OS and learned how to use it. I was an avid black fan. When bestbuy and his wife were watching the MacBook Pro, I said that it was really nice to buy it. Hey! The following describes the required hardware and software support for installing the system.

Hardware:

You need to support the CPU virtual technology, which can be set in the BIOS. To ensure installation, we recommend that you use a newer cpu so that it is safe.

Software:

VMware Workstation, the version I use;

Mac OS X snow leopord 10.6 DMG CD image;

Darwin or rebel EFI boot cd iso image file. Here I will explain the usage of these two files. At first I did not know how to install Mac OS. Follow the common installation methods of Windows OS, open the VM boot OS file, but it is not applicable to Mac OS and will keep prompting you to fail to load the system. Therefore, these two files are used to guide Mac OS.

After the above preparations, we will install the system. First, we will create a new virtual machine. Because of the different versions, the images will be different, which is not a big problem.

Create a new virtual machine. Here I use the standard format,

Select the source of the client operating system. Here I select to install later.

Select the type of a client operating system. Here, select another type and the version is FreeBSD 64-bit,

The following is a name for the client system and a virtual machine location,

Specify the size of the client's hard disk, which depends on your own situation,

The preparation and installation page is displayed below. on this page, select Custom hardware and specify the memory size and other settings for your virtual machine system. In this way, the virtual machine is successfully created.

The above is a step for creating a virtual machine. After these steps are completed, it will be very close to success, but it is not so happy. here we need to make a small change to the configuration file of the virtual system, find. vmx format file opened with editplus or notepad, find gusetos = "freebsd-64" line, change FreeBSD to darwin10, then save the changes. The following describes how to install system files. At this time, the two files just introduced are useful.

First load the boot file installed by the system, such:

In this way, the boot file is loaded and the virtual machine can be started at this time. Then you can see the following picture,

Then, load the Mac OS X DVD file as prompted on the screen. You can see how to do this. In the settings of the virtual machine, select the location where the boot file was loaded as the system installation file. The image is omitted. Here is a prompt, follow the prompts in the following picture to check.

In this way, after a series of settings above, we will enter the Mac OS installation program preparation stage. Is it a little eye-catching? Haha, for example,

However, some statuses may appear at this time, such as the following,

This indicates that an error occurs during the boot process and cannot be installed. We need to replace the boot file and rebel EFI will be used in this case. Perform file loading according to the above steps. Remember to check connected and other options. Haha, at this time, the installation screen officially caught our eye. It seems very excited.

Select the language type to install. Here, I would like to remind you that you may not be able to see the hard disk option when selecting the disk installation step. In this case, you don't have to worry about it. Choose "utility"> "disk tool,

"Erase" your virtual hard disk,

After the above operations, you can see the installation disc,

We can wait patiently for the installation process. Depending on the computer configuration, the installation may take a long and short time, so don't worry. after so much effort, we can see the following success prompt.

Here, I would like to remind you again that you must not load the file location before the computer restarts and replace the system installation file with the system boot file. Otherwise, an error occurs. You cannot boot the installed Mac OS. After these twists and turns, Mac OS has been successfully installed into a virtual machine. You can experience the differences between Mac OS and windows.

I would like to thank finscn for urging me to write this installation tutorial and Mac OS forums such as vision and Weifeng. I hope this will provide some guidance for you. Since all the files you use can be searched online, you will not be able to download them. Only the Mac OS file is relatively large. It seems that there are more than 6 GB of files. You can take it easy. Thank you very much for reading this article. If you have any mistakes, you can correct them at any time.
