It’s been a while since we wrote the popular Tutorial on installing Snow Leopard on Virtualbox. Certail users had trouble with the guide due to lack of proper hardware support — Intel VT support. So here comes a tutorial with the help of tek411 which works without much hackery
There are several reasons why not to use Snow Leopard on VMWare and go for Virtualbox.
Who doesn’t love Open Source? And when a Open source product is better than a paid application, we adore it. So is the case with Virtualbox. Virtualbox 3.1 is an amazing platform for Virtualization, It’s not only free, but also much faster than VMware in Disk I/O, Network I/O, RAM optimization, CPU Usage, Hypervisor level operations. Hats off to Sun-Oracle.
Before you begin, make sure you have enough CPU, RAM, Disk resources to share for the virtual machine.
Hardware Requirements:
- Processor: Any Intel Processor or AMD. if you still have a doubt:@geeknizer.
- RAM: Anything above 1 GB, Recommended 2GB or higher
- Disk space: 10GB (minimum)
Software Requirements:
- Virtualbox 3.2.6 (Download)
- Snow Leopard Osx86 distro
- Bit of Patience
How to Install Snow Leopard OSx86 on VirtualBox
Step 1. Create a new Virtual Machine with name “OSX”
On the next page Configure RAM you wish to allocate. We recommend anything near 1GB.
Step 2. Create Virtual harddisk
Anything near 20gb Dynamic should suffice most requirements but you are free to change it to something higher and click finish.
Step 3. Configure settings in the left pane and uncheck Enable EFI.
Next click on the Storage button on the left. From there click on Empty under the OSX.vdi, then click the folder with the green arrow on the right (next to “CD/DVD Device”).
At this window click the Add button at the top. Then find and add the OSX86 ISO you downloaded earlier. Then highlight it and click Select at the bottom. Then click OK, and hit the Start button on the left side of the main VirtualBox window.
Step 4. Starting up Mac OS firstboot
While it boots, click inside the window and hit F8. At the boot: prompt type –v（这里可能会失败，可重启虚拟机继续尝试。附：好像不输入-v，直接回车也可以）.Next, Setup should boot into installation just fine. Run the Disk Utility by going to Utilities in the menu bar.

进入Utilities对虚拟硬盘进行格式化，参考Windows 7+VirtualBox安装Mac OS X全教程，不过格式化时，Volume Format使用默认选项Mac OS Extended (Journaled)即可。
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Click the Erase tab, and click the Erase button on the bottom right of the window and then quit it.
Step 5: Proceeding with installation
Select the drive you just partitioned and continue
Step 6. Customizing the Installation
（本人供图）
On next window, Click the Customize button and select checkboxes:
AMD Users:
Any Updates included at the top.
Drop down Kernels and choose Legacy kernel.
AMD option below System support.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
根据上面的说法，我应该选择上图中的几个选项，但是安装之后，启动时便只停留开机图形界面，却没有任何文字提示。根据图中勾选AMD选项时下方的提示，我在第二次安装时多勾选了System_Support中的三个选项，便安装成功并正常启动。如下图：
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Intel Users:
Any Updates included at the top.
Drop down bootloaders and check the newest Chameleon.
Drop down Kernels and choose Legacy kernel.
Then click Done and hit the Install button. You can skip Disc checking and speedup the installation. It should take anywhere between 15- 40 minutes.
Step 7. Setting the Chameleon Bootloader
When the installation completes, before restarting Click on Devices at the top of the VirtualBox window, hit CD/DVD Devices and click Unmount CD/DVD Device.（移除ISO文件） Next you’ll see the Chameleon loader and then OS X will begin to boot.
After it boots you will see the setup screens for OS X! You’re good to go.
What doesn’t work:
- Audio
- Custom resolutions. You can do this via the tips mentioned in snow leopard hackintosh guide.
