I got Sugar to boot under VirtualBox 2.X / MacOS 10.5 following the recommended procedure. With VirtualBox 3.X something seems to be broken. Neither my old VDI nor a newly downloaded one will proceed to more than that black screen. Sad!

But don't despair: You need to get the installation ISO (380 MB) from the downloads page (~~http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick~~/Downloads). Add this as the CD-ROM to your virtual machine and set the first boot volume to this CD-ROM. Now Sugar works as before!

==I want to give a response to the "Setup a Virtual Machine for Sugar on a Stick" (Mac Os)==

I´ve installed the VirtualBox from step 1 - 6 and then i setup a virtual machine.

I´ve watched the streamcast about that and i´ve done everything similar to the cast.

The Virtual Box starts, he wants to boot and then there´s a black window for hours ....

Does somebody have an idea what i´ve done wrong or what´s the problem about booting?

Greetings
