`template://alpine` with `--plain` gets stuck during `Waiting for the essential requirement 1 of 1: "ssh"`

[AkihiroSuda]

limactl start --plain template://alpine gets stuck during Waiting for the essential requirement 1 of 1: "ssh".

No output in the serial console (serialv.log) nor in the video screen (--video).

The non-plain mode (limactl start template://alpine) still works.

Lima v1.0.2 (Alpine 3.20.3) on macOS 15.2 on Apple M4 Max.

For me even normal alpine without --plain is not working in VZ mode

Works fine for me (M1 Ultra on macOS 15.2):

Doesn't work for me. Stuck in waiting for essential requirement. Even with video its blank.

Alpine 3.20.3 on macOS 15.2 on Apple M2 Max tried even with current master same issue.
