Description

As previously i was not able to install Mac OS Sierra from iso, i was keen to try again because of https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/16644#comment:21, after i have seen that it's now supported by 5.28. It's not even mentioned in the change log anyway.

The cdr.dmg image, what i have created shown not supported format. (even if the dmg is supported file format - the created iso from that was starting up, but hanging at some point - it hasn't been solved, when i tested again)

I have realized that i can make an official USB installer on Mac, that i don't need to hack dmg and iso, but i haven't 8GB USB stick.

So i created a virtual usb with fallocate and mounted successfully (i can write on that disk with normal user), unfortunatelly it's not been listed by VBoxManage list usbhost.

Either way even if i try this with mac, it's a basic problem, it does not work even with ubuntu guest.

Other problem is that when i added my integrated camera (it's listed as USB device), it's starting up, but makes a blank screen on Mac OSX. (10.12.6 - Sierra)

Last sentence was talking about 10.11 El Capitan and not Sierra. (i was not able to install Sierra and i have an El Capitan from where i was able to download the Sierra, but i cannot upgrade the system)

I forgot something, the VRAM has been set to 128MB, but my Mac saw 8MB. I have seen many very aging forums which are talking about it.
