Making the hard drive
UTM currently uses the .qcow2 format for its hard drives. There are a lot of pros of this, but Leopard doesn't seem to like the format. When the installation is done, the machine fails to boot. I have found a workaround, but you'll need a computer for it.

Run this command in your terminal:
You will end up with a file called "hda.img" in the directory you ran the command from.
Transfer this file to your device.
