Installing from ISO instead of Base Image?

superversivesf opened this issue · 2 comments

I was wondering, I have a Big Sur ISO image for installing MacOS from. I used it successfully when I installed it on VmWare player but the performance of KVM for a mac vm is much better so I made the switch.

Is it possible to install from an ISO instead of the BaseImage? I tried playing around with it but my understanding of QEMU and KVM is still pretty limited and I wasn't sure how to get it to boot with Clover. Any assistance or advice would be appreciated.

no the iso file is a container of a whole installer a.k.a meaning mounting iso file you will see the installer in "hfs" filesytem
Navigating inside that you will find under directory SharedSupport your BaseSystem.dmg and InstallESD.dmg
The last two files are really vanilla mac's OS you are looking for
HTH
