Follow the instructions on https://github.com/sickcodes/Docker-OSX#additional-boot-instructions (like below):

Additional Boot Instructions

• Erase the BIGGEST disk (around 200gb default), DO NOT MODIFY THE SMALLER DISKS (if you can't click erase, you may need to reduce the disk size by 1kb) and close the window

• Click Reinstall macOS

Whenever you see the message below, run docker restart macos to restart QEMU and continue the installation.
