Vmware

Hello and thank you for this great tool.

I've used it to create a dmg and I'm trying to use the dmg with virtualbox.

I converted the dmg to a vdi file like so:
VBoxManage convertdd ~/Desktop/osx-10.10.1-14B25.hfs.dmg auto.vdi

Then I created a new VM in VirtualBox and chose the vdi as the drive. And disabled EFI.

But VirtualBox says FATAL: No bootable medium found! System halted.

I've verified that the Hard Drive is selected as a boot option, so no funny business going on there.

Is there another step I need to follow to make the dmg bootable? I also tried attaching it directly (instead of converting to VDI) but experienced similar results.

I'm sure I'm missing something here... any pointers you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

I'm afraid I can't offer much help, I don't use VirtualBox myself. The system on the dmg is bootable though, which is easily proven by restoring it to a physical drive and booting from it. I've had great success converting AutoDMG images to vmdks with https://github.com/chilcote/vfuse - maybe try importing that into VirtualBox?

I've just upgraded Virtualbox to 5.2.6. I don't remember which version I came from, but it couldn't have been older than 4 weeks, since that's how old my pc is. I had one VM installed, Linux Mint latest version. I had set it up as an EFI (ticked that box). It worked fine. Brilliant actually.

Now after the upgrade I got into the EFI shell after booting. I turned off EFI to see why, because the EFI shell doesn't tell me why *it* is starting instead of the OS. 'No bootable medium found' is the answer.

Boot Medium In Virtualbox

I checked and double-checked. The harddisk is configured correctly. The boot order is configured correctly. There's no way I have misconfigured anything in this regard (mind you, I have some experience with setting up Virtualbox VMs). Besides, it worked fine until today and I haven't changed anything expect the upgrade.
I've also tried to change from PIIX3 to ICH9. No difference.

I've checked again and the harddisk isn't empty or anything. The installed OS is still there, just waiting to get booted someday.
What can I do to fix this?
