I get the following errors shown in the screen shots below. The first is from the EFI shell 2.0 when I don't connect the iso to the Oracle Virtual Box VM or when I connect the physical optical disc:
and the second is when I connect the iso and reboot the Virtual Machine:
I didn't know there were guides on how to do this, so I attempted to do this on my own last night until around 2:00 am will writing the following instruction based on the system requirements and using imageburn to create the iso and disc as follows:
Steam OS Beta Oracle Virtual Box or VMware Player installation Experiment
Spring 2015
Date: Sunday March 16, 2015
A. Create a VM machine with VM Workstation or VM Player, or Oracle VirtualBox; name virtual machine 2440-430_Userid_Fedora13_client_LinuxVM where Userid represents the students UAnet login id. The virtual machine's folder should be placed in the in C: (root directory). Accept the defaults for the virtual machine setting except for the following items:
1. Click new if using Oracle Virtual Box or Create New Virtual Machine if using VMWare
2. Type a the desired name for the Virtual Machine if using Oracle Virtual Box otherwise proceed to the next step.
3. Choose a memory size of 4096MB.
4. Choose a hard disk size of 500 GB. This size may be expanded later, if needed.
5. Choose Create a Virtual hard drive now for Oracle Virtual Box otherwise skip this step.
6. Choose VMDK(Virtual Machine Disk) if using Oracle Virtual Box otherwise skip this step.
7. Choose Dynamically allocated and split files of less than 2 GB if using Oracle Virtual Box otherwise skip this step.
8. Choose to have hard disk contents stored in multiple files for VMware otherwise skip this step for Oracle Virtual Box, which the box should be checked to split in files of 2 GB or smaller. This option allows for greater portability.
9. Confirm that the name of the VM is the desired name and the memory size is the desired amount and click create for Oracle Virtual Box otherwise skip this step. Instead for Oracle Virtual Box confirm that 3D acceleration is enabled and Video memory is set to 128 MB under display, Audio Controller is set to Intel HD Audio or better and not AC97 under Audio, Enable USB 2.0 (EHCI) Controller under USB, and Storage Type is set to ICH6 under storage.
10. The machine should have VM Tools installed. If not, install VM Tools on the virtual machine.
Download/create a copy of SteamOS Beta where available because the you have to sign up or register to download it. Be sure to scan the file for viruses or malware if not downloaded from steampowered.com or the official steampowered.com site.
After seeing the guide on steampowered.com I modified it slighty to disable floppy, but thats it. However, I still get these errors and don't know why the installer won't start.
Does anyone on here know why because I don't think I'll get a response on steampowered.com, since I have not seen responsed to any of my bug reports for anything for a while. If your wondering why I'm installing it to a virtual machine it's because I wanted to see how it works before I install it on a dedicated machine, since the requirements say it wiill delete all the contents of the drive it's installled to and I want to make sure it can do what I need it to do it I'm going to seriously consider using it on any of my computers. Especially if it's going to wipe out everything else on the drive and become the primary and only operating system without any modifications or secondary OS installation after it's installation.
