Download & Burn

:pointr: Download a Leopard Image like iATKOS .
:pointr: Burn it on a DVD


Create & Edit your Virtual Machine

:pointr: Create a Virtual Machine , you must set over 3GB !
Over 512MB RAM and go to edit and set up your DVD Drive.
:pointr: Go to the Folder where your Virtual Machine is saved . Open the .vmx config file with Editor and delete the complete Text in the Editor and paste this in the Editor :

bios.bootDelay = "5000"
checkpoint.vmState = ""
checkpoint.vmState.readOnly = "FALSE"
config.version = "8"
deploymentPlatform = "windows"
displayName = "Leopard"
ehci.pciSlotNumber = "33"
ehci.present = "TRUE"
ethernet0.addressType = "generated"
ethernet0.connectionType = "nat"
ethernet0.generatedAddress = "00:0c:29:7b:c7:78"
ethernet0.generatedAddressOffset = "0"
ethernet0.pciSlotNumber = "32"
ethernet0.present = "TRUE"
ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000"
ethernet0.wakeOnPcktRcv = "FALSE"
extendedConfigFile = "leopard.vmxf"
floppy0.autodetect = "TRUE"
floppy0.fileName = "A:"
floppy0.present = "FALSE"
guestOS = "freebsd-64"
ide0:0.fileName = "leopard.vmdk"
ide0:0.present = "TRUE"
ide0:0.redo = ""
ide1:0.autodetect = "FALSE"
ide1:0.deviceType = "cdrom-raw"
ide1:0.exclusive = "FALSE"
ide1:0.fileName = "Z:"
ide1:0.present = "TRUE"
memsize = "768"
mks.keyboardFilter = "allow"
monitor = "debug"
nvram = "leopard.nvram"
pciBridge0.pciSlotNumber = "17"
pciBridge0.present = "TRUE"
scsi0.pciSlotNumber = "-1"
scsi0.present = "FALSE"
scsi0.virtualDev = "lsilogic"
sound.autodetect = "TRUE"
sound.fileName = "-1"
sound.present = "FALSE"
svga.autodetect = "TRUE"
tools.remindInstall = "TRUE"
tools.upgrade.policy = "useGlobal"
usb.present = "FALSE"
uuid.action = "KEEP"
uuid.bios = "56 4d 50 97 29 7a 74 3f-a8 4a 39 81 24 7b c7 78"
uuid.location = "56 4d 50 97 29 7a 74 3f-a8 4a 39 81 24 7b c7 78"
virtualHW.productCompatibility = "hosted"
virtualHW.version = "6"


BIOS Properties

a. For the 2 IDE drives you need to set 32-bit I/O to enabled.
b. The floppy disk and chip must be disabled
c. Disable all serial and parallel ports
d. Large disk mode set to other
e. Boot order to CD first then Hard drive


Installing Leopard

Now you can boot from the CD if the Timer shows up press F8 and type in : -v cpus=1
If you've made all right you will be at the Install Screen .
Open Disk Utility to create a single partition and ensure that it is MBR based. Also make sure the volume label has no spaces in it.
Back in the installer select the new volume and then "Customize" button. If you have iATKOS then select the Darwin Bootloader if you have Zephyroth select the Chipset driver and the ToH SSE3 click on Bootloader and Select MBR or GUID look fist what youve i choose MBR !
Now sit back and wait while Leopard install .


Boot from Leopard Hard Drive

Now let Leopard boot from your Virtual Hard Drive , now you will see the Grey Apple Screen if that work youre done . But there can be a few Problems like this :

- Restarting always leads to a segment fault. So shutdown and power off then start up again.
- Sometimes it just won't restart with CPU fault. Best to shutdown VMware and restart.
- Network doesn't have a MAC address. This psi probably solvable but haven't had time to finish my work on this yet.

This Problems arent fixed !


Enjoy!
I hope that work for you . If you like it pls give it a :+fav: !

I'm looking for a tutorial which would show how to make a custom Windows 7, I know that much that I have to get my installation to audit mode and then make all my changes and stuff, and then capture the image and then convert the image or something.

Can you help me?
