VDI files not created (incorrect device number)

[Smons]

Hi,

I am currently trying to install BigSur in VirtualBox using your scripts.

I am stuck because the script won't create the VDI files because it tries to use /dev/disk1 which is wrong. The sparseimage images are actually mounted here:

• macOS-VM.sparseimage on disk10
• the APFS container inside disk10 on disk11
• macOS-VM.efi.sparseimage on disk12

Could it be a regex capturing only one digit?

Log file below.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

After the first failure, I deleted the .sparseimage files and relaunched the script so it could re-create them.

Additional context

OS: Catalina 10.15.7 (19H1030), 8GB RAM on iMac 21.5" late 2012

Log file for my latest attempt:

I deleted the .sparseimage files so the script would re-create them
