I've been trying to get a VM of macOS running in Proxmox for a while. I recently created a new VM and set it up by following the instructions found here: http://www.nicksherlock.com/2017/10/installing-macos-high-sierra-on-proxmox-5/

All I can seem to accomplish though is getting it to boot to the Clover Boot Manager (see attached screenshot), and also freeze up when trying to get the vm to start/stop.

Here's my VM config file (I obscured the copyrighted string in this posted text, but it's correct in my vm config file):

args: -device isa-applesmc,osk="string_obscured" -smbios type=2 -cpu Penryn,kvm=on,vendor=GenuineIntel,+invtsc,vmware-cpuid-freq=on
balloon: 0

Anyone have any idea how I can get this working?
