MacOS VM on qubes

[ckN6QwSZ]

Topics have been merged and my last three posts are older then my first three posts.

Anyway, I got OpenCore to run and BaseSystem to boot like this

qvm-features hvm-mac uefi 1
qvm-block a --persistent hvm-mac dispXXXX:loop0
qvm-block a --persistent hvm-mac dispXXXX:loop1
qvm-start hvm-mac

after making the images available in dispXXXX like this

sudo losetup -f /home/user/git/OpenCore.img
sudo losetup -f /home/user/git/BaseSystem.img

Kudos and Thanks to @tzwcfq who also suggested to create a seperate template like this

[solved] attach more than ONE device during boot-time

You can use custom VM config with libvirt template and add multiple disks there: sudo cp /etc/libvirt/libxl/yourvm.xml /etc/qubes/templates/libvirt/xen/by-name/. Then add as many <disk> ... </disk> entries as you need in /etc/qubes/templates/libvirt/xen/by-name/yourvm.xml: <disk type='file' device='cdrom'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source file='/path/to/your/iso.iso'/> <target dev='hdc' bus='ide'/> <readonly/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='1' unit='0'/> </disk>

which might suite the usecase better, since we have to add a lot more then opencore and the installer medium to get the HVM Hackintosh to work.

Next step is to convert as much args from OpenCore-Boot(-CD).sh into /etc/qubes/templates/libvirt/xen/by-name/hvm-mac.xml as possible.
