Hi All, I was thinking I might install TrueNAS as a VM to play around with before committing to getting hardware for it. I understand trueNAS is x86 based and not native ARM. I'm running an M1 Max Mac Studio and I've set the VM I'm attempting to install TrueNAS in as "use rosetta to run x86-based binaries" thinking this should allow it to boot to an x86 ISO. I've tried changing the type of OS to almost all of them, but it doesn't seem to recognize the TrueNAS Scale ISO as bootable or something. I've changed the boot order to the ISO to ensure it's first - but it won't boot. I might be grasping at straws thinking I could emulate x86 and install TrueNAS on an Apple Silicon Mac. Any thoughts? or has anyone tried this?
Rosetta is designed to allow running x86 binaries inside of an ARM OS, not an entire x86 OS. https://kb.parallels.com/en/129871 Parallels is currently working on an early technology preview of full x86 emulation but it is very slow. https://www.parallels.com/blogs/parallels-desktop-20-2-0/
