jcafaro10 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I used the Unlocker from this forum and selected Mac OS X Server 10.6 64-bit when trying to install. I also used the CPU mask: cpuid.1.eax = "0000:0000:0000:0001:0000:0110:1010:0101" that I also found from this forum. However, when trying to install, I get the apple screen and then the apple changes to a circle with a line through it (the "no" sign). I can't figure out how to boot from the retail dvd using any special boot parameters. I just see the Vmware loading screen and then it goes right to the apple. Where do you get to enter parameters? Please help! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/253217-problem-installing-1063-in-vmware/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please help! What processor do you have? If Albert's Unlocker has installed OK, and you can select Mac OS X Server 10.6 64-bit from the installation wizard, and you have the retail OS X 10.6.3 DVD, all should just proceed, no parameters are required. Please post a text copy of your VMX file and VMware.log, plus details of your hardware and OS configuration, so we can have a look at what might be causing the problem.

jcafaro10 Posted March 26, 2011 Author Share Posted March 26, 2011 Also can't install VMWare tools because I can't get my Snow Leopard install to recognize disk images. I set the image file to be an iso but no disk pops up in snow leopard.
