Installing Mac OS X 10.4.8 ON VMware Workstation 6.5

Environment Specifications:
1.    VMware workstation 6.5.1 running on Windows XP SP2
2.    JaS Mac OS X 10.4.8 AMD Intel SSe2 SSe3 Beta v2 w/Semthex’s 8.8.1 Kernel
3.    Intel Core 2 Duo processor 2 GHz with 2 GB RAM
This article is focused on installing it on VMware workstation. Here on this article I would be posting step by step screenshots of the installation process on VMware workstation 6.5.1. The Mac OS X image used here is “JaS Mac OS X 10.4.8 AMD Intel SSe2 SSe3 Beta v2 w/Semthex’s 8.8.1 Kernel”.
Creating the Virtual Machine:
The VM is created using FreeBSD as the template. Hard Drive should be in IDE Mode which is another requirement. This happens by default if FreeBSD is selected though. Make sure you allocate a good amount of memory (512 recommended).
