Dear Webroot MAC users, We’ve made some great strides in the last 7 days and are still on target for a mid-November release. We now have a Catalina beta for you to test. For those of you who are still waiting to get in, we will be manually sending out the beta key codes soon. We will keep this thread updated as more information becomes available. I have a copy of Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard Server. I am trying to install it on VirtualBox 4.1.26 that is running on Mac OS 10.8. I switched from VirtualBox 4.2.12 to 4.1.26 because I read on line that 4.1.26 worked for installation of 10.6 Server but 4.2.12 did not. My attempt at installation ends by infinitely looping on 'Still waiting for root device'.

The install media is a known-good bootable disk image of 10.6.8 on an external HDD which we use to image other Macs on a daily basis.I've tried this with a VB profile for both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Snow Leopard, using all default settings, both of which exhibit the same symptoms: The profile fires up and looks like it's attempting to launch, then hangs indefinitely, repeating the same message
