If you have an Intel i3, i5 or i7 CPU, download “iBoot Ivy Bridge 1.0.0″ or latest. For Core 2 Duo Intel processors you should download “iBoot 3.3.0″. If you have a Pentium 4 or another single core processor, I think you have to download “iBoot Legacy 2.7.2″. You can download it from here (tonymacx86 forum – you have to register). IBoot – for booting up Snow Leopard on the Virtual machine, since the retail DVD iso’s are not capable of booting themselves. There are some modifications out there by the Hazard team, but I have had so much trouble during installations that I suggest the original (or a copy) of the retail DVD’s. Mac OS X – I suggest to buy an original retail DVD of Snow Leopard, but for testing, you can google for Snow Leopard retail DVD torrent. The only downside so far is that it seems you won't be able to set screen resolutions outside of 640×480, 800×600, 1024×768, 1280×10×900. With this method your Mac OS virtual machine will be more reliable, and you will be able to do basic things from the Operating System such as reboots, shutdowns and the simple "About my Mac". In this post I will show another way of installing Snow Leopard in Virtualbox, but using the EFI method. Unfortunately that method causes a lot of kernel panics and is not reliable because sometimes it boots successfully, sometimes it doesn't.
Yesterday I've published a post on how to install Mac OS X – Snow Leopard - in Virtualbox 4.2 using external boot loaders. Installing Mac OS X on Virtualbox 4.2 EFI Method
