Hey all,
The reinstall with Sierra and using Sierra's NVRAM is a project still in the works, so I tried to see if the md5 checksums of both macOS High Sierra Beta.app's were the same in the meantime, and I found something a bit interesting:
The MD5's for the two installers (desktop on top, installer on bottom) are different! I'm not sure if that's because the installer one is on the installer, or there are special files, but I found this interesting, and it might be the root of the problem...
I've also tried recreating the "install_osx" USB many times now...
