Of particular note is the “MBR trick” to get around Windows (10) blocking boot sector mods, required for installing the Clover bootloader installation.
This guide assumes you’ve already got a WinPC that you want to boot into a Mac sometimes… to keep the lingo crisp, let’s call your existing Windows install “WinPhys”, along with MacPhys and MacVirt… so we use WinPhys to run MacVirt which installs MacPhys… and then we can actually flip around and run WinPhys VIRTUALLY under Mac virtualization tools, pretty meta. It works and it’s potentially easier than the well worn USB approach… after tons of reading I wonder why we don’t see this approach get any airplay. Not-so-general guide for achieving a physical boot Mac from a virtualized Mac… admittedly very dense with my own details, yet the core idea is simply this:īoot into a Mac VM and from there, install OS X to your physical drive.
