I have no problem installing Mac OS X Snow Leopard Server 10.6.3 using VMware Fusion 7.1.2 under OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.5 using an image made from the Mac OS X Snow Leopard Server 10.6.3 DVD using Disk Utility.

I am looking to install OS X Server 10.6 as a guest under Virtualbox on my iMac running OS X 10.6. Wondering if there are any caveats or issues regarding the hardware or the installation process. The Virtualbox manual was vague in regards to their warnings.
Is running an OS X Server guest restricted to an OS X Server host? Or can the host be the regular Snow Leopard client? Currently having the following issue during the initial install: Loading machkernel.mkext. Could not open file 'machkernel.mkext'.
IMac is 3GHz Core 2 Duo, 4 Gb RAM, iMac 10,1. While I can't make any suggestions on the technical aspect, legally speaking this set up is fine. Mac OS X is only supposed to be installed on Apple hardware, but there is no distinction between Apple servers and desktop models - indeed, with the withdrawal of the Xserve, there is no physical difference between Apple server and desktop models other than lack of DVD drives and the software they ship with. If you buy it separately, OSX Server perfectly capable of being installed on most Macs - 10.5 and below even allowed installation on labtop models.
