Mavericks host, Mavericks guest, how to?
Posted: 4. Jun 2014, 03:19
I notice some people mention running Mavericks as guest on Mavericks but I was wondering if anyone could share a how to on creating the initial boot image.
I'm running on a fairly recent MacBook Pro (i7, plenty of RAM).
I know Mavericks doesn't normally come with a bootable disk image, just the Install OSX Mavericks application which I've stashed... I tried using the InstallESD.dmg disk image that it contains, and I do get to a configuration boot-manager screen in VirtualBox but can't seem to actually make it boot or install (I just get to a UEFI Interactive Shell prompt).
FWIW I did try previously installing Snow Leopard Server from a factory disk, thinking to upgrade to Mavericks from there, but I could not get it to work - it would install but then never make it to the first reboot (black screen/hang).
Thanks for knowledge!
