You should be greeted with the MAC OS X preparation screen.If it keeps coming up to a message like boot kernel, hit F8 then type -f to ignore those messages and continue to boot. Start the VM and it should boot into MAC OS X Mountain Lion.Before you start the VM back up make sure to go into settings and remove the CD/DVD from your IDE controller.It most likely will not actually restart and hang after a shutdown message.You will get an Install Succeeded message and a restart button.It will give you an estimate while installing and can be anywhere from 10-30 minutes. Look through the other options and check what you think you might need. In the customize screen the most important thing to check is one of the boot loaders.Continue the installation but make sure to click Customize on the bottom left when that screen comes up.Make sure the format is OS X Extended (Journaled) and set a name like OSX.

Memory can be left at 2048 but if you have more to spare you can increase it.In the name type MAC OS X Mountain Lion or whatever you want and make sure the Type is MAC OS X and the Version is Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion (64 bit).NOTE:Please make sure you have a legitimate copy of this software.
