Newbie here, first time build, trying to build a CustoMac for my son.
I purchased the following according to the CustoMac guide:
1. To access BIOS/UEFI Setup, press and hold Delete on a USB Keyboard while the system is booting up - OK
2. Load Optimized Defaults - Don't know what this is?
3. If your CPU supports VT-d, disable it - N/A for my build, don't see that option anywhere.
4. If your system has CFG-Lock, disable it - Don't see that,
5. If your system has Secure Boot Mode, disable it - I think its off by default.
6. Set OS Type to Other OS - Don't see that.
7. If your system has IO Serial Port, disable it - Don't see that.
8. Set XHCI Handoff to Enabled - Don't see that.
9. If you have a 6 series or x58 system with AWARD BIOS, disable USB 3.0 - What is a 6 series?
Did I do this right?
4. boot from USB
I purchased the following according to the CustoMac guide:
- ASUS ROG Strix H370-I Gaming
- Intel Core i3-8100 CPU
- Crucial Ballistix Sport LT (16GB)
- No GPU - using built in UHD 630
- Downloaded Mojave - OK
- Created bootable USB with UniBeast - OK
a) copied MultiBeast onto completed USB drive - OK - Recommended BIOS settings ???
a) hold Delete while system boots - OK
b) Load Optimized Defaults ???

4. boot from USB
- … testing hardware … (~4 min)
- … user settings … (~4 min)
- …. scan entries … (~ 8 min)
- … Welcome to Clover 4674 …(~1 min)
- Get the Apple logo loading screen, with the progress bar stuck at the start.
- Read several forum posts complaining about the same issue, rebooted from USB, pressed space bar, selected Verbose Mode (I really wish the instructions said that since it is a crucial step, could have saved ~20 min)
- get blank screen - seems to hang
