* Similar for High Sierra, see https://gist.github.com/agentsim/00cc38c693e7d0e1b36a2080870d955b#gistcomment-2214881
for the changed script.
You might have to reboot your Mac after Downloading High Sierra in the AppStore,
in case the first hdiutil attach ... step fails.
* (Create install ISO with following script:)
#!/bin/bash
# Mount the Installer image
hdiutil attach /Applications/Install OS X El Capitan.app/Contents/SharedSupport/InstallESD.dmg -noverify -nobrowse -mountpoint /Volumes/install_app
# Create El Capitan sparseimage of 7316mb with a Single Partition - Apple Partition Map
hdiutil create -o /tmp/ElCapitan -size 7316m -layout SPUD -fs HFS+J -type SPARSE
# Mount the El Capitan sparseimage
hdiutil attach /tmp/ElCapitan.sparseimage -noverify -nobrowse -mountpoint /Volumes/install_build
# Restore the Base System into the El Capitan Blank sparseimage
asr restore -source /Volumes/install_app/BaseSystem.dmg -target /Volumes/install_build -noprompt -noverify -erase
# Remove Packages link and replace with actual files
rm /Volumes/OS X Base System/System/Installation/Packages
cp -rp /Volumes/install_app/Packages /Volumes/OS X Base System/System/Installation/
# Copy El Capitan installer dependencies
cp -rp /Volumes/install_app/BaseSystem.chunklist /Volumes/OS X Base System/BaseSystem.chunklist
cp -rp /Volumes/install_app/BaseSystem.dmg /Volumes/OS X Base System/BaseSystem.dmg

hdiutil compact /tmp/ElCapitan.sparseimage
hdiutil resize -size min /tmp/ElCapitan.sparseimage
# Convert the ElCapitan spareseimage to ISO/CD master
hdiutil convert /tmp/ElCapitan.sparseimage -format UDTO -o /tmp/ElCapitan.iso

* Copy resulting ISO to VM host
* New VM, OSX El Capitan (or whatever), ...
* Tell the VM it's a Mac (replace 'El_Capitan' with your VM name):
VBoxManage modifyvm 'El_Capitan' --cpuidset 00000001 000306a9 04100800 7fbae3ff bfebfbff
VBoxManage setextradata 'El_Capitan' 'VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiSystemProduct' 'MacBookPro11,3'
VBoxManage setextradata 'El_Capitan' 'VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiSystemVersion' '1.0'
VBoxManage setextradata 'El_Capitan' 'VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiBoardProduct' 'Mac-2BD1B31983FE1663'
VBoxManage setextradata 'El_Capitan' 'VBoxInternal/Devices/smc/0/Config/DeviceKey' 'ourhardworkbythesewordsguardedpleasedontsteal(c)AppleComputerInc'
VBoxManage setextradata 'El_Capitan' 'VBoxInternal/Devices/smc/0/Config/GetKeyFromRealSMC' 1
* Mount ISO, install (Create Partition with Utilities Menu -> Disk Utility -> Erase)
* Set resolution via VM's EFI:
VBoxManage setextradata 'El_Capitan' 'VBoxInternal2/EfiGopMode' <N>
// <N> can be one of 0,1,2,3,4,5 for 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024, 1440x900, 1920x1200
- Apparently in VirtualBox 5.2.0 and newer you can set a custom resolution, like
VBoxManage setextradata 'El_Capitan' 'VBoxInternal2/EfiGraphicsResolution' '1920x1080'
