 **Notes**
 I can't remember the number of sites I went around picking bits and pieces up to make this work. Thanks to all who went before (shoulders of giants &c.). Importantly, it only works with bullseye. It might work with the 64bit version, but I needed the 32bit armhf. There are other solution on macos for 64 bit Arm operating systems. I use UTM for those, but as of May 2025 it does not support armhf.
