I have my Catalina (10.15.5) Mac to download the Monterey installer and Clover 5141. I created a USB boot stick using this guide:
...but when I boot from it no boot options appear. If I press F3 to show hidden options the only thing showing is "Boot UEFI external from EFI", which just reloads Clover again. There is no option for "Install Mac OS". I have repeated the process a few times to make sure I didn't miss something, but nothing changes.
The last time I tried, I put the USB stick into my PC and booted BEFORE I installed Clover onto it - The PC has an older Clover installation on it. The "Install Mac OS" option did appear using the older Clover on my PC. So I moved the USB stick back to my Mac and did the Clover installation as it was described in the guide. I boot from the USB stick on my PC again and the "Install Mac OS" option is not there. I boot from the old Clover on my PC and the option IS there. What step am I messing up during the Clover installation to the USB stick?
FWIW, I have tried both the Standard installation of Clover 5141 and a custom one for EFI with no difference.
PC details are:
- Intel i7-12700K CPU
- Gigabyte Z690 UD AX DDR4 mainboard, latest firmware
- AMD RX590 video card
- 16GB 3200 DDR memory
- ~512GB M.2 SX8200NP SSD (blank)
- One 2TB Seagate ST2000DM001 SATA drive, holding data and the old Clover installation
- LG Bluray writer
