Hi all
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I updated to VB 4.3.6 this evening and wanted to install a guest running 10.6 Server. I creataed a new guest, selected Snow Leopard from the popup and attached a known-working dmg of 10.6 Server. I then booted the guest and received a screen I haven't had before:
I then tried Mavericks using the InstallESD.dmg within the package and that resulted in the same thing. I'm sure I've used VB in the past to virtualise SLS without any trouble. I have also previously used Fusion and Parallels so I hope I'm not mixing up the two. The manual certainly seems to imply that virtualising Mac OS X while running under Mac OS X on Apple hardware is definitely possible. I'm not going mad, am I?
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

Just managed to pause on startup and catch this, if it's any help?

Re: Unable to install any version of OS X
When creating the Snow Leopard Server guest, did you try selecting "Snow Leopard (64-bit)" in the General settings under the Basic tab?

This got me past that error, although I'm still not successful in creating a Mavericks VM!
