I did a successful install of Sierra but was having a few issues with audio and other things. I decided to do a clean install. I made another unibeast usb stick but when I try to boot from it by selecting external in the Clover menu (right after bios), the apple logo appears and the status bar but it never progresses.

Some things I have notices are that the changes I made the bios are no longer there and when I enter boot arguments they do not stick on the next reboot. When sierra was working, i was getting "fake" boot entries PCI....

I am trying to reformat the internal m.2 sad but cannot get it to boot from a usb. I've tried several different ones and different usb ports on the mobo. I really need some help here :(

You need to boot from the UniBeast USB stick (F12 - Boot Menu).

When I enter boot arguments they do not stick on the next reboot.

If you want the Clover Boot args to stick you need to edit Clovers config.plist
 
Thanks for responding! I could not get it to boot with the usb stick, not from the usb or the system itself. After I removed it it booted up fine. Now I have a running list of tweaks to chase down. Still would like to know why I couldn't boot from the stick if I ever need to do a clean install.
