There is a new CD image from Nawcom ( ) that makes installation of MacOS X much easier on VirtualBox (instead of using Prasys’ EFI boot CDs).

I will update this article as necessary to address a working installation of Lion as it progresses. So, for now, Snow Leopard is still it for a standalone MacOS on VirtualBox. At present, there is yet no boot loader capable of booting Lion on VirtualBox. With the recent release of Lion, there is a push to get a Lion version working on VirtualBox.
