Using Virtualbox

  1. Download the Yosemite Zone(YZ) iso
  2. Create a virtualbox of type MacOS/MacOS X (64 bit)
  3. For Settings:
    1. System/Motherboard
      1. Enable IO APIC checked
      2. Enable EFI (special OSes only) unchecked
      3. Hardware Clock in UTC Time unchecked
    2. System/Processor
      1. Use at least 2 processors
      2. Ensure Enable PAE/NX is checked
    3. System/Acceleration
      1. Everything checked
    4. Display
      1. Video Memory = 128
      2. Enable 3D Acceleration checked
      3. Enable 2d Video Acceleration unchecked
    5. Storage
      1. Click the CD icon and then specify your YZ ISO file
  4. Start the box and follow the installation instructions

2 Minute Hang

When the installation gets to 2 minutes remaining, it will probably hang. Ensure that the disks have mostly stopped spinning and then force shutdown the box. Then follow these instructions:

  1. Eject the YZ CD so that the box will boot from the hard drive
  2. Start the box, and at the boot screen, type -s -v -x
  3. Once the box starts up, you'll be at a bash prompt. Type /sbin/fsck -fy
  4. Once that finished, type /sbin/mount -uw /
  5. CD to /.OSInstallSandboxPath/Scripts
  6. CD to Hackintosh.Zone.Post-Script*
  7. Type ./postinstall and wait for the script to complete
  8. Type exit to complete the installation

Increase the VM Resolution

From a CMD prompt on your host, type the following command:

"c:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\vboxmanage" setextradata "Mac OS" "CustomVideoMode1" "2560x1080x32"

You may need to adjust the path to vboxmanage, the VM name (Mac OS), or your desired resolution.
