Any Solution for Pre-installed macOS users? #190

So my build has been configured to run Catalina 10.15.4 (using OpenCore bootloader) without KVM. Is there a way to make it bootable in KVM? I could just make a refresh installation and restore it from my Time Machine backup, but that doesn't sound clever. Any ideas? Thanks!

You could simply boot the disk by mounting it inside KVM (assuming it is a separate disk). There is nothing special needed to make it bootable.

@foxlet how would one go about this?

boot the disk by mounting it inside KVM

Install KVM and then somehow mount the physical disk as bootable disk in KVM?
