unknown flag: --filesystem while running podman-bootc run on MacOS Sonoma #70

Description

@funkytaco

I'm following a demo being run on Fedora, but I'm running on MacOS Sonoma.

podman-bootc run --filesystem=xfs localhost/bootc-ami:latest
Error: unknown flag: --filesystem

Does MacOS not have this flag?

`podman-bootc run --help
Run a bootc container as a VM

Usage:
podman-bootc run [flags]

Flags:
-B, --background Do not spawn SSH, run in background
--cloudinit string --cloudinit
-h, --help help for run
--no-creds Do not inject default SSH key via credentials; also implies --background
--quiet Suppress output from bootc disk creation and VM boot console
--rm Remove the VM and it's disk when the SSH session exits. Cannot be used with --background
-u, --user string --user (default: root) (default "root")

Global Flags:
--log-level string Set log level
`

I installed podman-bootc via the homebrew tap.

Thanks.

update:

$ podman-bootc run localhost/bootc-ami:latest
