Once you get it running, you can update to OS 6.10.8 just as you would a real NAS.

Okay, I'm fairly confident at this point I have the VM configured correctly, perhaps it's the .vmdk image? I tried the 6.2.4 image as well with the same result. I see you used a different image ending in "flash". Does anyone have an alternate image I could try?

Thanks all for helping!

Okay, finally.... I tried setting this up on my Windows 11 AMD machine... It worked (after I enabled virtualization in the BIOS)...

Now I'm stuck at a login screen... I've tried:
login: admin
password: password

login: admin
password: netgear1

Neither worked. Any ideas?

I think my problems running this on the Mac M1 was using a beta version of the ARM Virtualbox... Something isn't ready for prime time.

  Default admin password for OS-6 is password.
  
  Is the system booting from the OS partition (which is on the RAID disks, not the flash)?
