This should work for any intel Mac with the appropriate amount of CPU / RAM. I did not try on my MacPro yet.
The challenge is in making the MacOS X boot inside the KVM zone as MacOS X boots using UEFI, and not legacy. In essence I have a preinstalled image made with CCC from the time when the xserve ran natively; yet I'm not able to make it boot inside the zone. Perhaps I'll just have to dd the image mounted CCC image to a file. I'm still not able to imagine how to tell the KVM zone how to boot in UEFI mode however. Here is a non-stock-illumos approach( and legal stuff pt 4: ) https://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/~somlo/OSXKVM/ Do you know how to submit these patches to Joyent SmartOS? If not in the main thread perhaps a separate dataset? Ideally I would like something along the lines the way we are able to install and boot Windows from a SmartOS KVM zone.
