I ended up getting a *mostly* working bootable Catalina on this hardware. I ended up starting the whole process from scratch, ended up in the same position where MultiBeast failed.
I read through the troubleshooting information and found a link that explained that in Catalina, the security defaults make the root of the system drive read only. After running "sudo mount -uw /" from a terminal prompt and running MultiBeast again, everything worked perfectly.
I posted a suggestion to add that in the steps in the main Catalina install guide, as from what I can tell that is required on all Catalina installs until the new version of MultiBeast is released, which I assume will perform that task behind the scenes.
Now I'm trying to get a couple hardware items working properly, the first being audio. No audio device is found. Tried a couple kexts, but I'm not 100% which one or if I'm doing it right. Slow going, but I'm learning.
What's more, hopefully this post will help someone else that is new at this.
I do not use either of the beast apps but Multibest is post install application so I am not sure why it would be affecting your install. If you use Unibeast it should make you a nice installer, once done you should use Multibeast to install Kexts on your USB EFI partition after you get everything sorted you should transplant your EFI from the USB over to your system.
