If you don't already have the file you can extract it from the MacOS Mojave installer. Place the file in the directory scripts/EFI. You will also need the boot.efi file from MacOS 10.15.1 or lower. You will need the MacOS Catalina Installer under the Applications folder (or change the location in scripts/make-Catalina-Installer.sh).

This installer and Base System will then be used to create a new VM and install MacOS 10.15.3 on it in a partially-automated fashion.

A working boot.efi file will be injected into the installer and Base System. This project has scripts that will create a new MacOS 10.15.3 Installer and Base System images as well as an EFI Boot image. Additionally the 10.15.3 Base System and MacOS Installer app can be patched using an older boot.efi which reduces steps to install. Solution: In order to install MacOS 10.15.2+ you must boot using the boot.efi from a MacOS 10.15.1 (or older) installation or Base System. Problem: The boot.efi file from the MacOS 10.15.2+ installer and Base System will not boot on VirtualBox. (Scheduled to be fixed in the next maintenance release). In working through the issue of installing MacOS Catalina 10.15.3 on VirtualBox I (like many others) ran into a bug in VirtualBox that prevents MacOS 10.15.2+ installations from booting. As the state of the EFI issue evolves this project will be cleaned up and evolve as well. This project is a fragile work in progress process and hopefully most of it won't be needed once VirtualBox fixes the EFI boot issue.

The process will partially-automate the MacOS Catalina 10.15.3 Install and requires some user interaction. This project will help you install MacOS Catalina 10.15.3 as a guest on VirtualBox (currently only tested on MacOS). Install MacOS Catalina 10.15.3 with one command: Of course, a virtual machine is not identical to a bare-metal machine, and thus it won't reveal every bug or regression of a new TW update.Run MacOS Catalina (10.15.3) Guest on VirtualBox
#Virtualbox graphics controller update#
Remark: My rationale to build a new guest TW virtual machine was to test kernel 5.17.4 and the new KDE Gear 22.04.0 for proper functioning before attempting to update my critical TW bare-metal installation (the host).

#Virtualbox graphics controller full size#
With VBoxSVGA, the VirtualBox display screen does switch to full size and resolution as desired. The issue does not exist when using the VBoxSVGA controller in VirtualBox. Luckily, CTRL+ALT+F3 (actually Host+F3 = Right-Ctrl+F3) works, and the virtual machine can be shut down properly. The graphical Plasma interface doesn't show up, the screen goes black. Issue when using the VMSVGA VirtualBox graphics controller: Booting the virtual Tumbleweed into Plasma fails after entering the user password. And I would like this to be a heads-up only, no detailed attempt to hunt for the actual errors involved. Maybe this is known already, maybe this heads-up might help some people. I switched to the VBoxSVGA controller, and the issue disappears. The VirtualBox default to use the VMSVGA graphics controller with Linux guests doesn't work - cf. This is just a heads-up when running a VirtualBox Tumbleweed guest on a Tumbleweed host.
