Installation

Only the VM and bootdisk creation are automated, the installation itself is not. Here is how to proceed in order to get a working setup as quickly as possible.

After the installation program has booted you must format your system disk

  • select "Disk Utility"
  • select the topmost "QEMU HARDDISK MEDIA"
  • select "Erase" (they mean "Format")
  • choose "disk_osx" as the name
  • choose "MacOS Extended (Journaled)" as the filesystem format
  • choose "GUID Partition Map" as the partition table format
  • select "Erase"
  • select "Done"
  • close the "Disk Utility" window

Now you can safely install OS X

  • select "Reinstall macOS"
  • select "Continue"
  • wait (if an error occurs just try again, it's not that stable)
  • accept the terms
  • select "disk_osx" as the target system disk
  • select "Install" OS X
  • wait (if an error occurs just try again, it's not that stable)

Start

./start_osx.sh
