I'm trying to install guest additions on BigSur on a virtual machine. I'm following this guideline: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41691803/how-to-install-guest-addition-in-mac-os-as-guest-and-windows-machine-as-host but the command to access recovery mode gives me operation not permitted:

enter image description here

There is a way to access recovery mode from a virtual box machine maybe simulating cmd+r inserting? Or there is another way to install guest additions?

  • What do the support pages for VirtualBox recommend?

  • There is a rather active community forum at forums.virtualbox.org/…

    and it could be that they don't have a guest additions package compatible with macOS 11 or that even VBox itself is not fully compatible. Your best bet on this is in the VBox forums like @nohillside mentioned.

  • Perhaps attach a recovery partition image to the VM and boot from there? You probably have a recovery partition dmg in your recovery partition.
