I have downloaded kali-linux-2023.3-installer-arm64.iso I tried to install Kali Linux using the following command 

tart create --linux --disk-size 89 kali_2023.3;
tart run --disk /Users/user/Downloads/kali-linux-2023.3-installer-arm64.iso kali_2023.3

I am getting the following error during the installation

If you take out the usb/cd and put it back in and select yes a couple of times it fixes this

Also, if you get other errors and are using rufus to create the install, use etcher instead as kali no longer works well with rufus

@casual-slav Thank you for your reply. The point is I am directly booting it from an ISO file, which is a raw ISO file downloaded directly from the kali Linux site. So, there is no USB/CD or rufus is involved. Note: Same way I successfully instead Ubuntu Server by booting from ISO.

Unfortunately, Virtualization.Framework doesn't support CDROMs at all, and Kali's installer is pretty old-school about the way it detects the installation media.

To fix this, you'll need to run the following keyboard shortcut after booting, but before proceeding with the installation:

Fn + Control + Option + F2

This will open up a console, there you type Enter and the following commands:

umount /dev/vda2
mkdir /cdrom
mount -t iso9660 /dev/vda /cdrom

Now, to get back to the graphic installer, press Fn + Control + Option + F5 and continue installing normally.

Hopefully that helps!
