To those having trouble saving the XML data (being deleted after starting the vbox) which is causing the grey screen with the spinning color wheel you have to use “vboxmanage” to add the extradata into your *.vbox-prev XML file. Vboxmanage is the command line utility that allows you to edit the XML *.vbox-prex file.

You cann “vboxmanage” with the option “setextradata” and tell it which vbox to edit, the “name” to add, and the “value” to associate with the new key. Let’s say your new Mac PSX vbox is just named “OSX”, you would issue the following command verbatim and on one line: vboxmanage setextradata “OSX” “VBoxInternal2/SmcDeviceKey” “ourhardworkbythesewordsguardedpleasedontsteal(c)AppleComputerInc” It will not return an “success” but rather return you to your terminal prompt.

If not, open the *.vbox-prev file in your editor and make sure the key was added properly. If the key was added incorrectly due to a typo or wot-not, use “vboxmanage” to delete the key.

To delete the key you issue the same command as above, but leave the “value” empty and it will remove it. I hope this clears a few things up. Keyboard shortcuts for what? For VirtualBox or for OSX itself? I did all my configuration for VirtualBox using the “vboxmanage” command in an xterm. The OSX GUI (Aqua) has plenty of keyboard shortcuts, as can be found here: During the installation (though I have never tried) I would assume you can use the keyboard shortcuts for Finder and Applications to maneuver around the install.

But let’s face the facts here. There are only a select few of us that don’t use a mouse. For my day-to-day work I do not use one. I’ve been using FVWM (FVWM2) since the mid 90s. I’m configured rather well for no mouse support. But I still have a mouse connected to my computer.

It only makes sense. No point in complaining about it. If your hardware is new enough to run a host operating system and still have enough resources left over for a VBox install of OSX, then surely you can afford a $3 mouse! “Groaning” about OSX not being “mature” enough for you because you can’t figure out how to move around in it without a device that is more common than underarm deodorant serves to purpose.

Hi Brandon, Thanks very much for the info. I recently got turned onto VirtualBox and have found it to be a great way to run ubuntu while forced to use my work xp laptop, and at home I use it to run a lamp server.

Don’t know if it really adds any extra security, but I felt that if I was going to open up a port on my home router to use a webserver I’m running / playing with, then it might be a better bet to make the exposed server in question a virtual one. Anyway, I’m excited to try out the instructions abovebut i was also wondering if you might be kind enough to share the VDI you referenced above.

If so, I’d greatly appreciate itand of course would possibly need a little guidance on anything I’d need to do to get it running and usable. If not, I still want to say thanks for the info!

Best, Alex • says. My home network makes extensive use of Vbox for virtualization. My main server at home is a 1U unit running Debian as a host and virtualizes our firewall, our web server, our PBX we use for phone service, and our Win2K terminal server and it does it all quite well.

I tried both this post and another post sysprobs did on installing osx in vmware. Neither of them worked for me. When I tried to do what it said here, i got the efi shell and couldn’t mount my server iso file, the retail disk, or anything else I tried. It simply wouldn’t recognize it.

I am running Ubuntu 11.10 (a clean install), and I have VIrtualBox 4.1.2_ubuntu r38459. I used my Windows XP VM to use the imgburn to make an iso of my 10.6.3 OS X.
