If you want to stay stay with free tools and mount ssh shares on OSX MacFusion is the tool of choice. However for me MacFusion quits with an error "Failed to mount" and the log revealed: (SSHServerFS, phy303.uni-regensburg.de, 29.06.11 19:27) /Library/Filesystems/fusefs.fs/Support/fusefs.kext failed to load - (libkern/kext) link error; check the system/kernel logs for errors or try kextutil(8).

I'm on vacations right more, I expect to perform first tests in 2-4 weeks, do then ill be able to tell you more." So all one ...

The harddisk size should be at least 10GB, I chose 20GB This gives you EFI enabled in the system tab of the virtual machine's settings. Next boot the Hazzard OSX Distribution an start installation. Use the Disk-Tool to make a new partition. Don't start the Installation yet! You need to customize it and only install the Legacy Kernel and the latest Chamealeon bootloader. This is all and you can begin the installation. When you're done and before you boot into you new system go the the virtual machine's settings again and switch off the EFI option in the system pane.
