Boot from a real physical drive? #5065

I see it is generally possible in QEMU, just wondering if it is also possible in UTM? If yes, how? |

In theory you can create a virtual disk referring to a physical device. therefor you would need to install QEMU via home-brew. Said disk should be able to be imported into UTM. |

Sandboxed apps (such as UTM) can't access physical drives. You can either make a drive image as @Rastafabisch suggested, or share the device to your VM using qemu-nbd (but you can only access it after booting into an OS). Ping me if you'd like instructions on that. |

@ktprograms Can you provide instructions for these? Either a drive image or qemu-nbd are fine as long as it boots, however I would appreciate having the instructions for both options so that I can try each. |

Apologies for necroing this, but I just have to ask, and I could be way out of my element. Is it possible to get UTM 'un-sandboxed' in order to access a physical drive? |
