Show the Apple Logo instead of the verbose Boot Process
I'm running my Guest macOS Sierra 10.12.x
Is it possible to hide the verbose boot process, changing by original mac Apple symbol progress bar instead of?

Not really, no.
Don't you want to know what's really going on?

Re: Hiding Boot Process
As I said, nope, doesn't exist. Hide the VM if it irritates you, or start it detachable, or look through the source code on how to (even if it's possible) to enable something like that. I don't believe that cosmetic issues like that are a high priority...

Re: Hiding Boot Process
It isn't Irritates, take you account Linux boot in several modes.

Re: Hiding Boot Process
I think I might understand what you mean, but please verify. If you mean the boot processes in various Linux distros, that's because the distro has arranged for something like that. You cannot change OSX to change the logo. That logo is in a Mac's NVRAM, and such a thing is not provided by VirtualBox.joseluisbz wrote:take you account Linux boot in several modes.

Re: Hiding Boot Process
First of all, I'm sorry for shooting your idea down too quickly. I should have done what I suggested that you do:
That change will survive snapshots (it's a global setting), so if you want to undo it and revert to the defaults, simply issue the command:
PS. "<vm>" is the VM name as it appears in VirtualBox Manager. Enclose it in quotes, as shown above...
Well, I did go through the source code and I found that there might be a solution to your problem. Sort of... The VirtualBox default arguments passed to the OSX kernel are:socratis wrote:look through the source code on how to (even if it's possible) to enable something like that.
usb=0x800 keepsyms=1 -v -serial=0x1
VBoxManage setextradata "<vm>" VBoxInternal2/EfiBootArgs "usb=0x800 keepsyms=1 -serial=0x1"

Re: Hiding Boot Process
Hi...
I was checking my same machine create on VirtualBox in VMWare Fusion, and it's not verbose instead Show the Apple Typical Logo.
Only I want to show the Apple Logo instead the verbose lines (when the mac OS boots).

But, VMWare reproduce the NVRAM information to show the logo in the boot process?That logo is in a Mac's NVRAM, and such a thing is not provided by VirtualBox.

I believe that my previous answer is as close as you can get:

Re: Show the Apple Logo instead of the verbose Boot Process
Thank you your Answer Works!!!
VBoxManage setextradata "<vm>" VBoxInternal2/EfiBootArgs "usb=0x800 keepsyms=1 -serial=0x1"
Do you know, what means usb=0x800 arguments?
