I’m making an attempt besides macOS 15 Sequoia within VMWare Fusion 8. This outdated model of VMWare would not help variations of macOS newer than 10.12 Sierra, so a major quantity of weirdness is anticipated. Nonetheless, my aim is merely to get console entry; I would like to have the ability to ssh into this machine to compile software program.
Sequoia installs and not using a hitch. Nonetheless, on first boot, I’m requested to pick out my nation:
I can’t get handed this display screen! After I choose “Proceed”, I simply see a unending spinning wheel.
The system appears to in any other case be working effective. I can open VoiceOver and undergo the tutorial, or press Command-Possibility-F5 to open and toggle accessibility choices. I’m satisfied that if I might simply get handed this setup display screen, I might be capable to allow ssh and get console entry!
I attempted booting into Restoration Mode, opening a Terminal, and working:
cd /Volumes/Macintosh HD/var/db
contact .AppleSetupDone
contact .AppleDiagnosticsSetupDone
This sort of labored! After I reboot, I’m not requested to pick out my nation:
Sadly, as a result of I by no means created a consumer account, I am unable to log in!
Again in restoration mode, I tried to run sysadminctl, following directions from right here so as to add a consumer by way of the Terminal. Sadly, sysadminctl returns command not discovered, I assume as a result of it is not accessible in a restoration OS.
How can I exploit the restoration setting Terminal (or anything) to bypass these setup screens so I can login and allow ssh?
