Any way to have the boot manager auto select the bigsur disk when starting?

 

I'm trying to have VM with graphics card pass through, and currently have a wireless keyboard/mouse (logitech) and on the bootloader screen, can't click the volume to boot.

 

Works fine when using VNC as obviously using the host keyboard/mouse.

Thanks for this @SpaceInvaderOne.  This is great!

 

I am trying to create a BigSur VM and get to "Install macOs BigSur" option, click Continue and get this error: "The recovery server could not be contacted".

 

From my quick google search, either this VM doesn't have network access OR Apple's servers are overloaded.

 

Looking in the logs for the installer, i see "could not connect to the server" messages.

 

Any thoughts?

 

ID 10 T error.  I forgot had my router put new devices in Quarantine with no Internet Access.  🤦

Running container as Privileged doesn't make a difference.

 

Based on a thread for another container release for MakeMKV, there was the suggestion of setting PGID and PUID as 0. 

 

This does now allow the container access to the optical device and works without issue.
