Well, shit. Is there any hope of virtualbox (or even vmware) support?

- voltagex_ 13y agoyes Use another VM or nix install to grab the zip, extract it to a path and run the following: genisoimage -o test2.iso -r -J steamos/ (assuming you extracted the zip to steamos/) I've edited this post to remove most of what I said, the installer as it stands now is designed to work on UEFI compatible systems only and VirtualBox isn't compatible enough. I'm not sure I can be bothered fixing it as the SteamOS TOS forbids distribution of modified versions.
- sillysaurus2 13y agoOh come on. At least give me a hint on how to fix it. :) You said you got partway through the installation -- did it finish successfully?
- voltagex_ 13y agoYes, installing an ISO created like that will work, but the way X is configured breaks all of the ttys in VirtualBox. I've got a virtual serial port ready to debug the issue but booting in recovery would work too.
