Description
Been trying to get an image of High Sierra running on my MacBook Pro running 12.13.3 a few days now.
First time I follwed the instructions in the README.md but always got this error.

I then tried what this ticket says https://github.com/geerlingguy/macos-virtualbox-vm/issues/52 . But then I get instead of the above error it exists prematurely and restarts.


I have after this tried to follow the README again but get always get the second error now.

Research direction
Review README.md and the steps referenced in issue #52, then compare them with the two reported installation failures and screenshots. Reproduce the High Sierra installation attempt on the described MacBook Pro setup; done would mean identifying the cause of the premature restart or documenting a confirmed workaround.
