In the guest OS, cd to the second drive (the one with SL on it), cd System, cd Library, cd CoreServices, sudo touch ist. Add the SL hard drive as the L/ML's second drive and boot. Go to the first Lion/Mountain Lion guest. Installation of SL should complete, but it won't boot. Presumably, one of the reasons for using SL is Rosetta, so be sure to install Rosetta. Create a new OS X guest as OS X 10.6 server, and choose the image file for the installer. cd to the mounted image file, cd System, cd Libary, cd CoreServices, sudo touch ist. Eject the SL install DVD, and open Terminal. Do a "restore" to copy the SL install DVD to mounted image. Then, use Disk Utility in the host to create a new disk image, choose 8.3 GB (DVD+R DL) for size, Mac OS Extended (Journaled) for format, encryption none, partitions CD/DVD, and image format read/write disk image. I can get SL installed and running, but I'm stuck on one thing.įirst, create a Lion or Mountain Lion guest in Fusion. It's 2013, and I'm on Mountain Lion and my VMware Fusion version is 5. Note that I did not edit the DMG or DVD used for installation. Any attempt I made to reinstall the OS again resulted in receiving message that the OS is not a server version. I suspect that with each VMware update I will probably need to reapply the steps above. Low and behold, it installed without any issues, it reboots/restarts without issues and I even applied all of the updates. I then proceeded to install Snow Leopard from a DMG I created from my Snow Leopard disc, no manipulation of the DMG. That done I had to reapply the steps above. I applied the steps above and when I was done I was prompted to update to the newest update of VMware Fusion 4. So I decided to do the steps above on my MacBook install of VMware Fusion 4 with the Lion 10.7.2 Server that is installed on it. So when I tried to copy the SL virtual machine over and use it there I kept getting messages upon attempts to open it on the MacBook that there wasn't enough RAM and such. My other Mac, a MacBook, just doesn't have those resources.
Well, that virtual machine was used on a Mac Pro with much more RAM and horse power. Every time that I would use it I would need to restore it from a snapshot. But after installing VMware Fusion 4 and then using the same SL virtual machine I was unable to successfully use it as before.
I had Snow Leopard installed in VMware Fusion 3 by doing a special install by manipulating the disc image and such. I have two Mac computers, both with Lion 10.7.2 Server from a clean install. You can use the terminal commands above but with this location:Ĭd "/Applications/VMware Fusion.app/Contents/Library/isoimages" VMware Fusion 4 encapsulates the darwin.iso within the main app. Search with Spotlight and with system files doesn't yield any file named darwin.iso. I also am receiving this error with my MacBook with 10.7.2 Lion Server.
