M1 Mac crashes when using --memory flag

[beauwest]

Describe the Issue

I tried to run the colima start command with custom CPU, memory, and disk values.

colima start --cpu 4 --memory 6 --disk 64

The entire computer froze for a few seconds, and then crashed and rebooted. I did some more testing, and the CPU and disk flags are fine, the memory one causes the problem. Even just a simple colima start --memory 6 causes the crash.

The colima list command shows a default VM in a "Broken" state, with the correct memory value.

Ugh. I searched, posted, then searched again… Duplicate of #310 I think.
