@jr00n Did you try to use crc setup before crc start ?

FATA /etc/hosts is not readable/writable by the current user

this is a check we perform and it fails, saying it does not find the correct permissions. This file needs to be writable by the current user to overcome and issue with oc: openshift/origin#23266

As mentioned, please run crc setup
