Shows how to install OSX 10.10.1 onto Oracle VirtualBox on AMD
Raw
_howto-VirtualBoxOSX.md
  1. Download OSX 10.10.1 ISO from Hackintosh :: Yosemito Zone 10.10.1 or use this torrent magnet link: magnet:?xt=urn:btih:9dd61fd91b0168913c002ac33c51dc510aa3b0ae&tr=http%3a%2f%2ftracker.niresh.co%2fannounce.php
  2. My computer specs are AMD A10-7850K APU on Windows 8.1 64bit
  3. I followed allong with this article here: www.macbreaker.com/2015/01/virtualbox-yosemite-zone.html
  4. For boot flag I used /amd1. I had tried /amd and /am64 prior to this and both didn't work.
  5. The install goes slow and then hangs, it says "2 minutes remaining" and my mouse cursor didn't change to spinning beachball until 10minutes later.
  6. After the beachball came I waited 10more minutes and it was stuck there, so then I shut down VirtualBox and started it backup.
  7. Unmount the iso
  8. It worked fine, on startup you get a screen, just hit enter (there should be only one option to select) no need to type any boot falgs
  9. Startup is slow
  10. After startup and login, yosemite-zone does some configuration, it works in the background, you get notification popups. Continue on to next step, the updating might mess with you, like minimize/close programs like safari.
  11. Make sure to download the beam tool onto your OSX to make the performance faster, see this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDjirnJcanw
  • I attached the beam tool to this gist
  1. It is .iso. double click it and OSX will extract it
  2. From within this, extract the zip file contents to desktop
  3. Now open terminal and run /usr/bin/xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Users/noida/Desktop/beamoff.app/. My user name is noida so replace that with your username. If you don't do this, clicking on the extract file will give you "Unidentified Developer Error"
  4. Now run double click to run this file, everything is now smooth
    • Run this extracted file everytime you startup, otherwise performance is too slow
