Updated the Readme.md file to add a discussion about how you can change the default screen resolution for the VM. (Very handy to have this in one place.) Also updated the script for a typo. (I see you already got the update for the installer name.) :)

Updated the script to now look for the release macOS Sierra installer, instead of the 10.12 Developer Preview!
Adding in a simple description of how to increase the video resolution of the VM for macOS.

Just a short comment as an interested user: I had not heard of GOP and UGA, and these instructions just turned them from unknown unknowns to known unknowns. Unless there are situations where I should choose UGA, it may be better to change these instructions two a three-step process, i. e.:

  • Shut down the VM
  • Run VBoxManage [...]
    [table of mappings id -> resolution]
  • Boot VM

Thanks for the comments. I've simplified the video discussion to remove the extraneous comments about video subsystems, which as you pointed out is not pertinent to setting the VM to the resolution you want.
