Following this great guide, I installed Catalina with OpenCore. After copying the installer EFI folder to the SSD, I was able to reboot. Then I added all the sn#, uuid, MAC address, etc to the config.plist with ProperTree. I did the OC Snapshot and OC Clean Snapshot but after restarting I see...

No problem updating from System Preferences>Software Update Open Core 0.8.0 Dell Optiplex 9020

You guys were right, the disk was not formated in APFS. As it is a HDD, not a SDD, I thought APFS would make it work too hard. But it seems you have no choice, anyway. Now I have a booting Monterey HDD. I am so happy! Time for the post install things. Big thanks for the help and all the...

I started again from scratch. BIOS update, USB drive format, Monterey download, etc. It works as expected. I don't know what was wrong the first time. Now I can boot on the USB drive, launch Disk Utility, erase the HD and launch the installer… BUT …the first reboot in the install process goes...

The sticker is a white number 1, the good one! The Monterey installer was downloaded from Apple thanks to a link I found in the forum (you gave it!): https://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/45/40/012-08272-A_KGMMYPA2W5/0b42ig80fy1eau4b7z3oa4bc1ogs2jw23p/InstallAssistant.pkg I'm gonna try to...

That's what I thought. I droped it in the kexts (with all the config.plist buisiness) but it doesn't help.

Is that not a post-install job? Right now, I'm only trying to make an installer (USB or HDD).

None. What is there to do? Some kind of microswitch to deal with on the motherboard, maybe?

Oh, those drawings were too stylized for me! Thanks for opening my eyes. My keyboard and mouse are USB ones, not bluetooth. This must be related to another problem I had in the begining: Unlocking CFG did go wrong. I changed all the offsets with modGrubShell, not only the two mandatory CFG...

NVRAM cleared every single USB port tried switched to EFI folder from OC 0.8.0 Macmini 7,1 EFI.zip … does not change anything! As I don't have another USB flash drive, I made a HDD installer. This time, the local public key step was not a problem anymore. The installer starting goes further...

I am unable to make a working USB installer. The EFI folder comes from OC 0.8.0 Macmini 7,1 w GUI EFI.zip. The SmUUID is the one I found in my Mojave OptiMac. The BIOS was updated to A25. After the USB drive boot, I can launch the installer but it stops early saying "failed to get local...
