– Use $ diskutil list to get the external drive device handler (something like /dev/disk3, which I’ll use as an example) When you’re done, plug the drive in the host machine with VMware installed. – Start the setup as usual and when it asks in which drive you want to install, choose the external drive as target – Plug the external drive to the machine and format it with a GUID Partition Table and HFS+ Journaled – Boot the installer DVD from your machine as you normally do – my MacBook wouldn’t boot it, so I used a spare Mac mini to do this – VMware Fusion installed on host computer – Spare external HDD to install OSX on (40GB+ recommended) – Machine able to boot the Mac OS X Snow Leopard Installer (either DVD or USB) – VMware Fusion 6.0.3 (latest version as of this post) – MacBook Pro 13″ mid-2012 running Mac OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.5 I didn’t use Parallels or others because I don’t like them. I needed to do a very quick test on Mac OS X Snow Leopard, so I thought “I’ll just setup a VM really quick, do my stuff, and delete it”.īut it’s not documented anywhere, not actually supported and took me so fucking long to find my way.
