NOTE: The script will not work if you are a Standard user. By default it will be placed in the "/Applications" folder. My changes/suggestions in Ī) Download "Install macOS High Sierra.app" from Apple. I've adjusted your instructions slightly to highlight the bits I got lost on. Open Disk Utilities means open Disk Utilities in the Guest VM st-system/ī (23.36 KiB) Viewed 188394 times BootFromFile.png (48.02 KiB) Viewed 188394 times EFImenu.png (32.71 KiB) Viewed 188394 worked!!! After multiple tries with different results I didn't recognize a key instruction. PS: There is also another guide, which I discovered after I wrote this guide, that contains some pretty pics in case you get confused by the text-only instructions. The VM will reboot a couple of times but you should be all set. This is going to take substantially more time, about 20-30 min with the VM consuming every available CPU cycle. That second part of the installation is where 10.13 actually gets installed.Choose the second option, then " ", then " Locked Files", then " Boot Files", and finally " boot.efi" and let the games begin!.This could be also used to do a re-installation of 10.13, just like on a real system, should the need arise.īootFromFile.png This is the one you should boot from to do the installation. The second partition however is your Recovery partition. This is where the VM should be booting up from normally, and this is why it fails to boot. ![]() The first one is your normal Boot partition, but this is not yet working, because you haven't yet installed 10.13. Select the " Boot Maintenance Manager" option, then " Boot from File".That will you get to the EFI menu, shown below: If you don't succeed, and you end up in the EFI shell, enter " exit". You need to keep resetting the VM (HostKey+R) and press any key until you get into the EFI menu screen.Once you find yourself up and running, right after the language selection step, shut down the VM and eject the 10.13 ISO that you booted from. Apple (another wise move) has modified the way that it reads/treats the different partitions in the EFI, something that currently VirtualBox cannot handle (as of 5.2.2).But, you won't re-boot into the OSX installation phase, you'll restart the whole installation again from scratch! Houston, we have a problem!!! If you're observant, you'll notice a quick message coming up, right before the VM boots again from the ISO to restart the whole installation process: That part is rather quick, lasting less than a couple of minutes on an SSD drive. This will start a phase where the actual installer is copied to the Recovery Partition of the hard disk that you selected. Now the hard disk shows properly when Disk Utility is opened. NOTE: This "glitch" has been fixed with 10.13.2. Leave the defaults (HFS+J/GUID), except maybe the name, choose anything you like. Select it and choose " Erase" from the toolbar. Now you'll see your " VBOX HARDDISK Medium". On the top-left side, click on the " View" drop-down and select " Show All Devices". For reasons that only Apple engineers understand, you will *not* see your hard drive! Instead you'll see a bunch of partitions that are of no interest to you whatsoever (see NOTE below). After selecting the language, open " Disk Utility". ![]()
