I got it to work on UTM for MacOS.

Although the process might differ a bit, try the guide I wrote before:

what is the VM you are using?

i tried UTM’s boot option but nothing so far…

I’ve been succesful with UTM on my mac and also VMM on my Syno.

On both you need to find a way to boot from the (virtual) usb drive. If you need to specify a .iso to boot from just take the x86 from github, just as a placeholder, since it doesn’t boot. Then you exit to the bios and boot from the usb drive, which was flashed with the usb image.

Also, try various BIOS, I think the one that worked was UEFI.

do you know a command for utm that initializes the usb stick?

it would be very helpful…
im trying on boot manager, either way doesn’t work, by the order of boot nor the manager.

thanks

I don’t know, sorry. On Mac it’s a graphical user interface and you just click on the usb drive to inject it.
