In addition, the original installation CD did not recognise the 500Mb disc (but reported it was 3.0Tb) and Disk Utility (luckily) refused to do anything.
Google found solutions that may work for more modern Macbooks (pro), but not for this machine. It turned out that booting Linux from a USB flash drive / USB pen drive / USB stick (or CD for that matter) is nearly impossible without rEFIt or its modern clone, rEFInd. Since OSX hadn’t been booted for some years, I decided to install Linux only. The original 100Mb hard disc was failing and I bought a 500Mb drive to replace it. The white Core duo (without the 2) 32-bit Macbook was purchased in September 2006 and used to dual boot Gentoo Linux and Mac OSX using rEFIt. While this is trivial on most PCs, it turned out not to be on an old Macbook. Now you can show to the virtualbox VM that VMDK file.In order to install Linux on the replacement of a crashed hard-disc drive in a 2006 Macbook Core duo, I wanted to boot Linux from a USB flash drive in order to then install it. Step 5 : Unmount again $ diskutil unmountdisk /dev/disk2 vmdk - rawdisk /dev/disk2 RAW host disk access VMDK file /Users/leseb/Documents/usbdrive. Step 4 : Preparing VMDK VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk - filename /Users/your - username - here/Documents/usbdrive. So the solution is too change the permission of the device.
With this default, you won’t be able to import the disk file that we are going to create. The tricky part is that the VirtualBox process can only read/write files owned by the current user you are logged with. Unmount of all volumes on disk2 was successful
Yours could be different please do not forget to change "/dev/ disk2" $ diskutil unmountdisk /dev/disk2 #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: FDisk_partition_scheme * 8.1 GB disk2 #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: Apple_HFS Macintosh HD * 499.1 GB disk1
