I'm thinking I would like to try the El Capitan beta in a virtual machine. I have the latest Virtual Box installed on my MBP running Yosemite, but can't figure out how to get VBox to boot to the install.app I have on a USB stick. The USB stick is bootable. I've found instructions for doing it on a Windows Host by creating a .vmdk file, but don't know enough Bash to translate it to OSx. Has anybody done it yet? Thanks.
