I'm having difficulty getting past the first stage of installation.
I've configured my USB drive and BIOS according to page 1 of this thread. USB drive is in HS09 or HS10. I've tried with and without a keyboard plugged in. I power on the machine, F12 at the BIOS, then select the 'Boot macOS Install from Install macOS Mojave'.
Sometimes when I get to this line, it pauses - and then the screen goes black and doesn't come back. Sometimes it gets a few lines further before going black.
Seems to be trying to sync network time? There is no wired or wireless connectivity - I didn't think the machine had to be online? I've tried with:
SMBIOS -> iMac14,2 with everything blank
SMBIOS -> iMacPro1,1 with everything filled in
SMBIOS -> iMac18,3 with everything filled in
I've tried using one of the DP ports on the GPU and the HDMI port on the motherboard. I get a display from the GPU, but nothing at all from the motherboard HDMI. Any ideas much appreciated.

Edit: here is the final line before the screen goes dark:
