Ubuntu + VirtualBox 4
Ubuntu + VirtualBox 4
EFI emulation in VirtualBox 4 is capable of loading and executing boot.efi as the bootloader. Hence boot-132 or its derivatives are no longer needed in VirtualBox. We were able to boot PureDarwinNano.iso this way.
The code responsible for loading boot.efi can be seen here. Apparently VirtualBox includes an EFI implementation based on TianoCore EDK2, with special patches to boot Mac OS X Server (and hence, Darwin).
PureDarwin: Ubuntu + VirtualBox 4
PureDarwin: Windows + VirtualBox 4
The goal of this project is to make Darwin more usable by providing an installation ISO, documentation, and add-on software. You are welcome to join #puredarwin on irc.freenode.net or the Gitter chat if you would like to join PureDarwin development and to add to this site.
