Virtualbox Additions Windows 98 Operating
3.1.1. Mac OS X GuestsOracle VM VirtualBox enables you to install and execute unmodifiedversions of Mac OS X guests on supported host hardware. Notethat this feature is experimental and thus unsupported.Oracle VM VirtualBox is the first product to provide the modern PCarchitecture expected by OS X without requiring any of themodifications used by competing virtualization solutions.
Forexample, some competing solutions perform modifications to theMac OS X install DVDs, such as a different boot loader andreplaced files.Be aware of the following important issues before you attempt toinstall a Mac OS X guest.Mac OS X is commercial, licensed software and containsboth license and technicalrestrictions that limit its use to certainhardware and usage scenarios. You must understand and complywith these restrictions.In particular, Apple prohibits the installation of mostversions of Mac OS X on non-Apple hardware.These license restrictions are also enforced on a technicallevel. Mac OS X verifies that it is running on Applehardware. Most DVDs that accompany Apple hardware check forthe exact model. These restrictions arenot circumvented by Oracle VM VirtualBox andcontinue to apply.Only CPUs that are knownand tested by Apple are supported.
As a result, if yourIntel CPU is newer than the Mac OS X build, or if you have anon-Intel CPU, you will likely encounter a panic duringbootup with an 'Unsupported CPU' exception.Ensure that you use the Mac OS X DVD that comes with yourApple hardware.The Mac OS X installer expects the hard disk to bepartitioned. So, the installer will notoffer a partition selection to you.

Before you can installthe software successfully, start the Disk Utility from theTools menu and partition the hard disk. Close the DiskUtility and proceed with the installation.In addition, Mac OS X support in Oracle VM VirtualBox is anexperimental feature.You need a 64-bit processor that has hardware virtualizationsupport. See.You must enable hardware virtualization for the particularVM that requires 64-bit support. Software virtualization isnot supported for 64-bit VMs.To use 64-bit guest support on a 32-bit host OS, you mustselect a 64-bit OS for the particular VM. Since supporting64 bits on 32-bit hosts incurs additional overhead,Oracle VM VirtualBox only enables this support only upon explicitrequest.64-bit hosts typically come with hardware virtualizationsupport. So, you can install a 64-bit guest OS in the guestregardless of the settings.
