Install High Sierra On Virtualbox

Posted on by admin



Hi,


I would like to install a VirtualBox guest of macOS High Sierra on my MacBook Pro that is also running macOS High Sierra so that I can experiment with MDMs, etc. Without rendering my primary laptop unusable. I've created an ISO of High Sierra by downloading the installer from the Mac AppStore and running the following commands. MacOs High Sierra Final: VirtualBox: Commands: cd 'C:Program FilesOracleVirtualBox' VBoxManage.exe modifyvm. Download MacOS High Sierra VMDK. You have to get macOS High Sierra VMDK in the link supplied. Edge chromium portable. This post contains the steps I extracted from various resources in order to get a fully working High Sierra install within VirtualBox 5. Step 1: Download The High Sierra Installer. To do this, you need to be on an existing macOS system. I was unable to find the download within the App Store itself, but following this link opened the App Store at the correct page: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/macos-high-sierra. Install VirtualBox on Windows PC. In the “Required Files” part of the article, you.

Under Ubuntu 16.04 LTS when I load in EFI mode the raw High Sierra image created with Install High Sierra On Virtualbox
Code: Select allExpand viewCollapse view
sudo VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename macOsXrawlinux28.vmdk -rawdisk /dev/sda -partitions 2

from VirtualBox 5.2.8 (+ext pack) I get the uefi interactive shell.
I have no idea how to access /System/Library/CoreServices/boot.efi from there.Install
Same result when using -partition 1,2 for vmdk file. Partition 1 contains /EFI/apple/ and no .efi file, so I cannot use uefi shell to boot some fs0:EFI/Apple/<file>.efi neither.
Using -partition 1,2,8 or -partition 2,8 I get the Refind (installed on hfs+ partition 8 ) menu with no option to boot to Mac Os. I don't understand why, because normally Refind gives two functional boot options to MacOS : preboot and APPLESSD.
Using full disk without -partition bypasses Refind menu even if it set as default boot and leads directly to grub menu in any cases. From there I should not continue to Ubuntu, trying macOS64bit it says mach_kernel prematurely ends, and that I should load kernel first. These errors occur in normal booting (not virtualized) anyway.

Downgrade From High Sierra To Sierra


Does someone knows how I should proceed to successfuly load raw High Sierra if that's possible ?
