I am in the process of installing Void Linux inside a virtual machine on my M1 MacBook. I have followed the guide for chroot installation and I am having trouble getting it to work.

This is what I have done, and please correct me if I am wrong:

1- Created an empty virtual hard drive

2- Booted a live image of Arch Linux aarch64 due to the lack of Void Linux live image.

3- Using cfdisk, I create a gpt partition label and write 2 partitions (500MB /dev/vda1) and (Remaining free space /dev/vda2) with mount points (/boot/efi/) and (/), respectively.

4- Format as vfat and ext4, respectively.

5- Mount them as per the guide and then manually enter chroot.

6- Again, do pretty much everything as listed in the guide.

7- For (/etc/fstab), I do the following

# Corresponds to /dev/vda1
UUID=1a2b.....uvw  /boot/efi   vfat defaults 0 2
# Corresponds to /dev/vda2
UUID=3c4d.....xyz  /   ext4 defaults 0 1
tmpfs   /tmp  tmpfs   defaults,nosuid,nodev   0 0

I am not using swap for sake of simplicity.

8- I install grub-arm64-efi and then issue the command grub-install --target=arm64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id="Void" --no-nvram. Note the --no-nvram because for some reason EFI variables are not available to me in UTM.

9- After the xbps-reconfigure -fa command, I exit and them attempt to unmount using umount -R /mnt only to be told that the device is busy. Using lsof returns nothing so I shutdown, remove the live Arch Linux image, and boot the system again only to be greeted with the UEFI shell.

I am not sure where my issue is and I would appreciate any help, advice, and/or guidance anyone can provide.

Thank you
