Notes

The darwin_snow.iso must always be mounted in the VM’s CD/DVD drive in order for the OS to boot. Shutting down the VM by pressing shut down in the OS will cause a kernel panic. The workaround is to open the .vmx file associated with the virtual machine and change smc.present from true to false.
