  1. After you do, you’ll definitely find that Mac and Windows are the two top ones. In this article, I’ll share download macOS High Sierra ISO, DMG, VMDK via Torrent Image. If we take a look at the Mac operating system, it has surpassed 100 million active users.
  2. Rename it to ISO: mv /Desktop/HighSierra.iso.cdr /Desktop/HighSierra.iso. Delete the old DMG: rm /Desktop/InstallSystem.dmg. Create a VM with 2cores, 4GB RAM, 40GB HDD, and all the PAE/NX/EFI stuff enabled. Make sure to define High Sierra as the OS, or you will have issues booting.
  3. In this step, open VirtualBox for creating a new Virtual machine after it opened so click on New,.

During a recent pentest, I needed to throw together a macOS virtual machine. Although there was lots of guides around the web, none seemed to work from start to finish. This post contains the steps I extracted from various resources in order to get a fully working High Sierra install within VirtualBox 5.

Step 1: Download The High Sierra Installer

To do this, you need to be on an existing macOS system. I was unable to find the download within the App Store itself, but following this link opened the App Store at the correct page: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/macos-high-sierra/id1246284741?mt=12

After opening the aforementioned page in the App Store, start the download, but cancel the installation when it starts.

You can then verify that the installer has been downloaded by checking that '/Applications/Install macOS High Sierra.app' exists.

Step 2: Create a Bootable ISO

Next, you need to create an ISO from the installer application that was downloaded in step 1.

Running the below commands will create an ISO on your desktop named HighSierra.iso:

Download macOS High Sierra 10.13 Image for VMware, VirtualBox, and vSphere Apple released the macOS High Sierra operating system version after macOS 10.12.

Step 3: Creating the Virtual Machine

I experimented with a few different settings in regards to the CPU and RAM allocation. I didn’t find a combination that didn’t work, but create a VM with the following things in mind:

  • Ensure the name of the VM is MacOS (ensure to keep the same casing)
  • Ensure the type is Mac OS X and the version is macOS 10.12 Sierra (64-bit) (there is a High Sierra option too, but I chose Sierra by accident and it worked)
  • Untick Floppy in System > Motherboard > Boot Order
  • Use >= 4096 MB of memory in System > Motherboard
  • Use >= 2 CPUs in System > Processor
  • Use 128 MB of video memory in Display > Screen
  • Optionally enable 3D acceleration in Display > Screen
  • Remove the IDE device in Storage > Storage Devices and replace it with a SATA controller
  • Add a new hard disk device under the SATA controller with >= 60 GB of space
  • Ensure an optical drive is present under the SATA controller and mount the previously created ISO to it
  • Untick the Enable Audio option under Audio

After creating the virtual machine with the above configuration, hit OK and exit the settings screen. Now, a number of extra options need to be set.

If you’re on Windows, you’ll need to cd into the appropriate directory under the VirtualBox installation path to run VBoxManage. For Linux users, this should be in your PATH variable already:

After running the above commands, the VM should be ready to boot!

Step 4: Installation

This is where near enough everything I read stopped, despite there being one more problem in the way - UEFI.

Boot into the VM, go into Disk Utility and erase the virtual disk that you added to the machine.

After erasing the disk, start the installation procedure. After a short amount of time, it will reboot the VM.

Once it reboots, it’s going to boot back off the ISO again, once it’s done this, just shutdown the VM and eject the disk [the ISO] and then start the VM again to boot from disk.

On the next boot, it should boot into the installer that was copied to disk, but instead, you will be presented with a UEFI shell like below:

To continue the macOS installation, follow these steps:

  1. Type exit and hit return
  2. Select Boot Maintenance Manager and hit return
  3. Select Boot From File and hit return
  4. You will see two partitions, select the second partition and hit return
  5. Select macOS Install Data and hit return
  6. Select Locked Files and hit return
  7. Select Boot Files and hit return
  8. Select boot.efi and hit return

After following these steps, you will boot into the remainder of the macOS installation. From here, just follow the steps as per a regular macOS installation.

The next time you boot your virtual machine, you will not have to go through the UEFI shell; it should work without any further problems.

Step 5: Tweaking The Resolution

Mac

As there is no VirtualBox additions for macOS, the screen resolution won’t automatically change. If you know what resolution you wish to use, however, you can set it manually.

Ensure the virtual machine is powered off, and then run the following command; replacing 1920x1080 with whatever resolution you would like to use:

After running the above command, the next time you boot the machine, it will use the resolution specified.

Now, you should have a fully working macOS virtual machine!

I'm trying to install macOS Mojave on virtual box. My host is MacOS High Sierra.
1) I started from the Mojave Installer, downloaded from Applestore.
2) I have built an installation ISO file ( I have created the dmg with hdutil, then I have mounted it with hdiutil attach, then I have sudo createinstallmedia.. at the and I have the .iso)
3) I have created a virtual box, with a 35G hard drive .vdi and also an optical disk, on controller SATA. On this optical disk I have connected my .iso image of the installer.
4) I have set the virtual box memory to 4G, disk memory to 128, removed the floppy, set 2 processors. I have also loaded the virtual box extended pack. I set USB3 in the ports, otherwise the mouse and keyboard were not working). Now mouse and keyboards are working
5) I have started the virtual box. I enter in a screen where I can select install or disk utility
6) I selected disk utility and I select EDIT/NEW on the virtual box disk. I use HFS+, but I tried also with APSF. No difference.
7) After disk utility I start the installation on the new disk, that now is properly recognized.
8) At the end of the process the system reboots but instead of proceeding it goes back to the same window for selection of disk util or installation. This means that it has rebooted from the same cdrom image and not from the hard disk.

9) I select Restart from the apple menu and I intercept the restart by Fn F12. In this way I enter a screen where I select the Boot Manteinance Manager.
10) On this page I select BootFromFile, and then select files down to the boot.efi.
11) I do continue

12) The second part of macOS installation now proceeds. It is longer than the 1st part but everything seems to go ahead properly.
13) At the end of this second part the system reboots but still the reboot is done on the CDROM. Here is the problem. I were expecting having a reboot from the new macOS installed on the hard disk. But instead it seems that the hard disk is no bootable.
14) Even if I remove the cdrom from the virtual box setting, I cannot boot. In this case, as there is no more boot disk ( the virtualbox hard disk is not recognized as a boot drive) it starts the EFI shell.
15) I exit from the EFI shell and I enter the boot manager, but now there is no .efi file to boot from.

16) If I set back the image of the cdrom and open the disk utilities, doing get_info on the hard disk I see that the hard disk is not set as bootable.

17) I tried also to select the hard disk as a starting disk, keeping both the cdrom image and the hard disk. At the startup it logs Boot Failed MACOS X, and then goes ahead with the boot from the CDROM.
In summary:
I think to have done all the proper steps.
I had the installation of the macOS both in phase1 and phase 2Mac Os High Sierra Iso For Virtualbox
At the end, anyway I end up by having a virtual hard disk that is not considered as bootable.
Everything is coherent to confirm this.
But basically I think to have done the proper installation.
Here I am stuck. No more ideas.Mac os sierra
All the discussions I have found are focused on the preparation of the ISO installer and on the phase 2 of the installation.

On the other hand in my case the problem is AFTER the phase2 of the installation.
Thanks
