Hi,
I can't switch OS to 64-bit mode. I use mac os 10.6.8 in VmWare. I tried to edit com.Apple.boot.plist (put arch=x86_64 into Kernel Flags section), start OS with different bootloaders (EmpireEFI4AMD, nawcomModCD_x64), but nothing helped me. I need it to use ARC in Xcode 4.2.

imho, I would reverse what you're doing: Run OS X as my main OS, then just put Windows in the VM. Less problems that way. ;)

The above method seems to be the more adequated! OSX as main OS all the way, and Windows Vm'ed ...
The flag is not X86_64 tho from what I know...
Try this flags arch=i386 -force64
Lemme know if it worked ;)
