Hi, I'm having multiple system issues, including BIOS problems and boot failures, which have their own threads open elsewhere. This, however, is a specific question:

I'm creating another clone of my main drive as a precaution, and want to make it bootable if possible. I'm unsure of the viability of my existing EFI folders and they are giving boot errors, so I want to do a clean install from multibeast onto the external drive - which is not currently the boot drive. (Ideally I don't want to reboot into the external drive - as rebooting is fraught with issues: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/bios-borked-by-attempted-catalina-upgrade-what-next.306407/

There doesn't appear to be any way to get multibeast to do this, but is that right? Or is there another way to create a clean, viable EFI installation without using a drag and drop from my existing EFI folders?
