This document provides instructions for installing Mac OS X Snow Leopard in a VirtualBox virtual machine using the EFI method. It details downloading required files like the Snow Leopard install disk, iBoot bootloader, and Mac OS X 10.6.8 update. The steps include creating a new virtual machine in VirtualBox, using iBoot to boot the install disk, performing a standard OS installation, upgrading to 10.6.8, and troubleshooting boot issues. The EFI method allows for a more stable Mac OS virtual machine that can reboot compared to other non-EFI installation methods.
