RE: Ответить: Apple M1 iso or vhdx image for Parallels

Hm.. Sorry for flooding the list. I decided to reply in list. This appears to be very unclear behaviour of Parallels. I'll fill internal issue.

Need to choose "Operating System = Linux" (doesn't matter, Ubuntu/Fedora/Debian/Other) while creating VM. Then after VM is created change Os Type to Other (if you are using some old ISO installation image).

Parallels doesn't initialize any disks for OS Type = Other while creating a VM on M1

Hi Dmitry & Dave,

I tried all of the options you 2 suggested, none of them worked. Here's a
screenshot on the problem reported by parallels. Also, I don't know if it
matters mentioning this but unlike for Linux ISO images, parallels does not
show disk allocation option for FreeBSD images (it shows hardisk is of size
0, and there is no option to set how much hard disk to allocate).

Thanks,

Aman
