Beware: if you proceed with this you will violate the EULA of Mac OS X. In fact, reading this article may very well violate said EULA. In fact, reading this warning may… Catch my drift?
So Mac OS X is not supported in VMware beta 2. Well, like many things that doesn’t mean that you can’t make it work. To get Mac OS X (not Mac OS X Server) to install into a VMware Fusion beta 2 VM use the following command, create an ISO with the name Mac OS X Install DVD that is a duplicate of the installer DVD and mount it:
touch “/Volumes/Mac OS X Install DVD/System/Library/CoreServices/ServerVersion.plist”
This will create the file that VMware looks for to determine whether you can run Mac OS X in a VM. You can rm it fromĀ /Volumes/Macintosh HD/System/Library/CoreServices/ServerVersion.plist once you are finished with the installer, but might want to keep it handy as you occasionally may need it again for certain operations.
