Hi Rich,

thanks a lot for this post. Really appreciate it

However, I do have a question. I want the Windows key of my keyboard to function as the Apple key while using VirtualBox. Do you have any idea how it could be done?

Comment on Virtualbox, iSCSI targets and teleport by jps1x2

Very good article! Only change the last line:

# VBoxManage controlvm testvm teleport –host 1.1.1.10 –port 54321

for this one:

# VBoxManage controlvm testvm teleport –host 1.1.1.20 –port 54321

i think that in this command -host is the destination.

Thanks you!

Not sure about AMD CPUs, but you could try modifying the controller the virtual HDD is attached to. Change it to IDE from SATA, for example.

Well here’s what I found out. Looks like my board doesn’t support EFI which would by why it can’t find the disks. Oh well…

Thanks for the write-up, this was an exciting experiment!

I did indeed run into a problem with two virtual CPUs but it was fine when I set it to one. However there is no sound, is that just me or is it normal?

Have the same problem as Chris above. I am using VirtualBox 3.2.0 release version running on Windows 7 x64, with Mac OS X 64 bit as guest. I used iDeneb, and it seemed to install fine. But after installation the virtual machine doesn’t see any bootable partition in the HDD. I have tried both MBR and GPT, but basically just get the EFI shell, as it can’t find a bootable HD partition.

Rich, are there specific hardware requirements for the installation to work this way? I’m trying to get it running on win7 64 bit with the 3.2.0 Beta. My cpu is an AMD Athlon and graphics card is a ATI xpress 1500.

I can install it but once it reboots I get the EFI shell where I can’t really do anything because it can’t find the hdd.
