Does anyone have experience with this:
I set up my MacPro with a triple boot system (Snow Leopard, Mavericks, Windows).
It is a bit of a hassle to boot switch between the two OSX's and running either OS X in a normal VM off a virtual HDD is just so awfully slow.
I would now like to boot one of my OSXs that is already installed as an option in a VM as well but keep the dual boot option.
Say: SL is running native, and I boot the Mavericks of the other partition in a VM and run them together. I guess that should be possible. I wouldn't know how to set that up though.
Advantage here would really be to get the full speed of my SSD to push data around. If I load windows via bootcamp in Parallels I get that nice benefit. I would love to have that for OSX in OSX as well.
The point here would be to test application environments that behave similar to the natively booted OS instead of a pure VM version that slows down because of the virtual harddrive. This would allow me to rough test different hardware configurations more efficiently and accurately.
Thanks for any help!
