Kylec, so I used the method as mentioned in the guide. With the Install Mojave.app in my applications folder I used the following:
sudo "/Applications/Install macOS Mojave.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia" --volume /Volumes/install_osx --nointeraction
This resulted in my USB Drive having one partition named "Install macOS Mojave" and that loosk good. I am concerned though as both in that guide and in KGP's guide, it is mentioned that this should have created a second empty EFI-partition, but I don't see it in Disk Utility, are they just not normally viewable?
Quote from KGP's guide:
I have no where this empty EFI partition is supposed to come from as formatting the USB drive in Disk Utility as HFS+ with GUID partition table does not also create an empty EFI partition that I can see.
sudo "/Applications/Install macOS Mojave.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia" --volume /Volumes/install_osx --nointeraction

Quote from KGP's guide:
1.) Format a USB Flash Drive of your choice (source, named USB) with HFS+ [(Mac OS Extended (Journaled)] and a GUID partition table by means of Apple's Disk Utility on any other Hackintosh or Mac of your choice. This will create an empty HFS+ Partition and a yet empty EFI-partition on your iMac Pro macOS USB Flash Drive Installer.
2.) With the macOS Mojave 10.14 Installer Package in your /Application Folder, connect your USB Flash Drive (named USB) and run the following terminal command:
Code:
sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Mojave.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/USB --nointeraction
3.) For successfully booting your iMac Pro macOS USB Flash Drive Installer, the latter must however also contain a valid EFI- Folder with an SMBIOS iMacPro1,1 system definition. Thus, copy the EFI-Folder you prepared in Section D.1) to the yet empty EFI Partition of your macOS USB Flash Drive Installer.
You now have a fully functional and bootable macOS Mojave 10.14 USB Flash Drive Installer.
