Greetings! i just tried to install iATKOS L2 on VirtualBox. OK Here we go.
Requirement
- iATKOS L2 installation image
- Oracle VirtualBox [download]
Tested on
Oracle VirtualBox 4.1; Windows 7 64bit; Intel I3; 8GB RAM
Installation Steps
1. Restart your PC and enter BIOS mode by pressing key to enter setup (may differ for each computer. Lenovo use F2 key)
2. Enable Intel Virtualization Technology (Needed for multi virtual CPU and acceleration using VT-x/AMD-x)
3. After reboot, create new Guest OS on VirtualBox and choose MAC OS X server
4. Allocate RAM (min 1024 MB)
5. Skip Virtual Hard Disk for now by unchecking Start-up disk. Just ignore the warning
6. Tune up other settings
- System
* Motherboard
# check enable : IO APIC;
# uncheck enable : EFI;
* Processor
# allocate 1 or more virtual CPU depend on physical processor capability
# check enable : PAE/NX
* Acceleration
# check enable : VT-x/AMD-x; nested paging
- Display
* allocate video memory 128 MB
* check enable 3D acceleration
- Storage
* IDE Controller (type ICH6)
# IDE Primary Master
+ add new HardDisk
+ choose vdi format or choose vmdk format(compatible with VMware)
+ allocate space min 15 GB and create
# IDE Secondary Master
+ click Empty Disk
+ choose a virtual CD/DVD disk file
+ load iATKOS L2 image
- Let the rest as it is
* in my case, i disable sound because of some reason
7. Start the guest OS
8. Choose installation language
9. Open Disk Utility
10. Create a Clear Partition. Use Erase (Format)
11. Continue the installation
12. Install it to our previous partition
13. Wait for a few minute until installation done (i missed the done page -_- oh well)
14. when you see this page (result of shutdown or restarting the virtual iATKOS) just Reset the VirtualBox
15. press F8 for boot option
16. choose our installed partition for booting using arrow key and press Enter
17. Finishing installation. we can skip some page but make sure to make one computer account and password for log in
18. After log in, you maybe asked for keyboard configuration. Just follow the step to press the key beside the Shift key
19. Launch System Preferences and click Boot Loader (bottom most cameleon)
20. Check default partition and fill it with hd(x,y) (see Startup Disk for the right hd(x,y))
21. Shutdown. Unmount the installation image and reset VirtualBox
22. Congratulation! now we can boot normally from Hard Disk partition
