As I know, OSX/MacOS were able to run virtually on some very old VirtualBox and only then it required running on Apple hardware, per licensing requirements and the need to "check" if Apple hardware recognition chips are available. Later, support for it was removed from VirtualBox mainline. Apple hardware is nothing but ordinary PC's and there many tutorials to run it on PCs, but that violates software license that is (still) exclusive on Apple hardware. Seems like Apple is chasing away legally anyone having MacOS virtual machine support.. (https://www.infoworld.com/article/2621458/vdi/vmware-yanks-mac-os-x-client-virtualization--feature-.html) With Apple hardware and OS I would feel trapped and imprisoned and I don't want that - hence Openindiana. :) ___ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

It might be worth considering both the coreboot and open bios projects. Robert Jones On 11/08/2017 07:37, Rasaki Temidire wrote: Thanks for the response Alexander.
