Hello,
I want to install El Capitan in Virtualbox 5.0.16 for testing use.El Capitan is my host system too.
In several postings I have found a script to create El Capitan.iso.
But the installation process stops showing the 2.0 shell within less than a second.
I followed the hints like to change the chipset to PIIX3 or tried to edit the startup.nsh for to add some recommended published lines. Perhaps I did.n’t quite get it, because the edition of this file failed.
Another solution was reported to start the installation with Yosemite or Mavericks and then after successful installation start an upgrade process.
Unfortunately I have an installation dvd of Snow Leopard only. With this there is another problem, because the virtualized hard disk isn’t recognized just at the beginning of the installation and so this installation fails too.
There were several reports that El Capitan is not well supported by Virtualbox and another reason for problems should be that Apple changed MBR to GPT. I have read other postings in this board but didn’t find a real solution for me. According to other reports the virtualization of El Capitan worked well obviously after having created the iso file successfully.
So has anybody some hints how to manage the boot failure described above and maybe can post a helpful script of commands?
Oct 01, 2016 Using a Linux or Windows host computer, create a Mac OS X guest virtual machine with Apple's El Capitan installation DMG file. Video contains English audio. Shell scripts are available at: http. Oct 19, 2015 Reopen VirtualBox. Open the VM settings and add another SATA CD Drive (To load the Installer files). In the first CD Drive, insert my Recovery disk and in the other, insert the Installer CD Image you created. Close settings and start the VM.
Jul 04, 2019 4. At the end of the process, you will have an El Capitan iso on your desktop - copy this onto an exFAT formatted USB for use on the PC Host later. Create an El Capitan Virtual Machine in VirtualBox. Open the VirtualBox program and click the 'New' button to create a new VM. Join the conversation. You can post now and register later.

Thank you in advance.I decided to create a MacBookPro8,1 out of the old Lenovo G770 HD3000 Sandy Bridge, i5-2410M with built-in WIFI AR9285, Ethernet AR8152. I’m going to make a tutorial on installing El Capitan 10.11.4 and Yosemite 10.10.5 on this machine, but it can be used for all other PCs or Laptops: HD3000, HD4000, HD4600 (Haswell), anything that’s older than those, it’s not worth it for El Capitan or Yosemite.
To install Yosemite or El Capitan, Clover boot loader is the only logical choice right now. Therefore, you need to understand the Clover boot loader thoroughly. It’s actually very simple when you understand it.
Please read and follow the video closely. If you’re using distros or any other means of installing, please don’t ask here, go to where you downloaded them and ask them. This is pure vanilla installation.

Sandy Bridge = HD3000 = Intel 2nd Generation i3-i7 start with “2” (2410M) = 0x01168086.
Ivy Bridge = HD4000 = Intel 3rd Generation i3-i7 start with “3” (3317u) = 0x01668086.
Haswell = HD4400-HD4600 = Intel 4th Generation i3-i7 start with “4” (4510u) = 0x04128086.
The best is to find out what’s in the PC or Laptops before you buy that is compatible with Yosemite or El Capitan – Don’t buy AMD or laptops that have white list on WIFI components (if you replace the different WIFI module, it won’t run – Lenovo is one of them) – Most laptops will need to have Wifi or bluetooth modules replaced to run native. The best wifi module now is AW-CE123H. – dual band and bluetooth 4.0 combo. Make sure the Ethernet is supported, it’s important for iMessage and Facetime: All Realtek 816x or Atheros 815x are supported. Wifi only Atheros9280 and 9285 are supported or Broadcom 943225 or 94352 (Google for more devices).
