Read on if you want to know how to mount the filesystem and how to make that filesystem bootable. I also wanted to be able to mount the guest filesystem on the host. I tried cloning existing images and resizing them but when I booted the enlarged images Disk Utility would never let me expand the size of the volume. I wanted to be able to create OS X VirtualBox images quickly and easily without having to run an OS X installer every time. Maybe someone else will figure out how to do this.

I wrote this back in Sept 2015 but am just posting it in Apr 2016. I added more than 3 times the information and added a whole new page discussing the UEFI interactive shell.

This will start the installer, which enables you to select where to install Oracle VM VirtualBox.
