MacOS Sequoia vm on Proxmox 8.4.1

[tomasich]

Hi. I've followed some guides to have this vm up&running on Proxmox.
My problem is that on boot with OpenCore I have only two menu: "UEFI shell" and "Reset NVRAM" but NOT install MacOS.
Can someone help me?

With this howto I was able to install MacOS on Proxmox VE8 as VM. https://klabsdev.com/definitive-guide-to-running-macos-in-proxmox/

Hi thanks for instructions.
Your guide it's similar the one I've used.
But I redo all from scratch.
When I start the vm I have an error: "TASK ERROR: ide0: explicit media parameter is required for iso images"
Must I change the "media=cdrom" to "media=disk"?

Sorry, I don't have time to go through the HowTo again right now. But if you follow the instructions exactly, you should end up with a working VM. I started my test MacOS here and it still works. Here is my final VM config:

The only way I foud to have the boot is:

root@pve1:/etc/pve/qemu-server# cat 107.conf
agent: 1,fstrim_cloned_disks=1

The tutorial in German worked for me: macOS Sequoia with Proxmox 9.0.6
