I may have partially answered my question as I found out that I can't use the free ISO from Parallels on macOS. I'm guessing there might be similar hardware issues for other environments. |

The non-free images contain proprietary device drivers, that are needed by most DIY hardware. https://docs.start9.com/latest/guides/flashing/flashing-x86#getting-startos |
