How to install snow leopard into vmware

I know its been a while since i last posted, just been busy with work and life :). The following tutorial is on how to run mac osx inside of a vmware.

The following items are required to start the hacking process:
- Retail DVD of Mac OS X Snow Leopard (or Leopard)
- VMWare Fusion 2 installed


VMWare Fusion detects the OS based on a checksum for the snow Leopard Installation DVD.

However you can create your own checksums that VMWare Fusion will look for by taking your Snow Leopard image and running the following commands:




Verify you installed VMWare Fusion 2.
Then Open a Terminal window and type the following commands:


sudo bash
cd "/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/isoimages"
mkdir original
mv darwin.iso tools-key.pub *.sig original
perl -n -p -e 's/ServerVersion.plist/SystemVersion.plist/g' < original/darwin.iso > darwin.iso
openssl genrsa -out tools-priv.pem 2048
openssl rsa -in tools-priv.pem -pubout -out tools-key.pub
openssl dgst -sha1 -sign tools-priv.pem < darwin.iso > darwin.iso.sig
for A in *.iso ; do openssl dgst -sha1 -sign tools-priv.pem < $A > $A.sig ; done
exit

all done enjoy your new vm of mac osx. also NOTE: if you update vmware fusion you mac osx vm will not work and you will have to go through the hacking process all over again. well im off to breakfast yum :)
