DISK_TWO=/fullpath/to/disk
FORMAT=qcow2
    -v "${DISK_TWO}:/disktwo" \
    -e EXTRA="-device ide-hd,bus=sata.5,drive=DISKTWO -drive id=DISKTWO,if=none,file=/disktwo,format=${FORMAT}" \

Also try
sata.4
sata.5

Depending if you have other disks

Any existing EXTRA stuff, just keep adding

@sickcodes I am trying to open my project in mac os using dev container. But unfortunately I am able to access current project in the arch. Not in VM mac os.

Good afternoon, @sickcodes!

Please peruse if this YAML code is correct or wrong. I am trying to attach a BaseImage.img (tahoe.img) and an HDD disk file (tahoe.qcow2). Here is:
