debian: macOS guest on VirtualBox - create installation media short note.
SYSTEM
OS: Debian Linux 4.18.0-3-amd64
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 1700 Eight-Core Processor
VirtualBox: virtualbox-5.2 : 5.2.20-125813~Ubuntu~bionic
STEP
1. CREATE VM
2. MODIFY VM
3. BOOT INSTALLER
4. BOOT NEW OS
5. CREATE NEXT VERSION CDR INSTALLER
6. FIX VirtualBox NOT SUPPORT apfs IN High Sierra/Mojave
1. CREATE VM
General
Machine -> New
Name="NAME OF VM"
Type=Mac OS X
Version=Mac OS X (64-bit)
Storage
HDD=NEW VDI DISK IMAGE (20-60G)
CD=CDR INSTALLER
2. MODIFY VM
RUN COMMANDS:

3. BOOT INSTALLER
#STEP
#- ERASE DISK
#- INSTALL
#FOR Mavericks NETWORK MAY NOT WORK, JUST INSTALL LOCALLY, WILL WORK AFTER REBOOT.
4. BOOT NEW OS
5. CREATE NEXT VERSION CDR INSTALLER
