Ī few little points to add into the documentation concerning the ESX(i) configurations: I have attached the manual to the post and the package is available at. It is compatible with the other methods that have been previously described in the forums. SharedFolder0.hostPath = "D:\Nguyen\Downloads\Compressed\Mac" VirtualHW.productCompatibility = "hosted"

When I install the darwin into the VMware system by the command setup.cmd install (I use admin)īut When I open my guest system and power on it say that the CPU have block or something. I agree it is a bit fast but normally don't need it and so speeds up regular boots. The timeout is hardcoded in the booter somewhere and would need to be patched to fix. This should give you the usual boot prompt. Press the key you need and then immediately press the F8 key. This brings up the prompt as shown in the first attached screenshot. The best way is to make sure that the guest has focus at the BIOS screen and hold down the Alt key (Windows/Linux) or Option key (Mac OS X). Get the boot prompt requires some quick key presses as the timeout values in VMware's booter is very quick. If a single user system it is likely to be 501.Ģ.

If you are not experiencing any problems do not use this package until such time as it is rolled into the main one. If you are having issues then please try the changes. I have put together an experimental update to the package which uses the Voodoo 2 alpha 3 kernel. Various issues have been raised with these processors.

So after months of testing here is a new version of the package to run retail Mac OS X in VMware. Update 2: Would everyone make sure they add or change lines in VMX to this. (Workstation 7 and Snow Leopard support) Update 2: The files can now be found here: I will create a new topic once I have done some new work on ESXi support.
