Fresh install not working

[OneInfinteLoop]

Hey all - I am doing a fresh install on my machine that recently ran Sierra with no problem - all major features worked great.

I decided to flatten it and do a complete clean install of High Sierra and I am having a heck of a time. I created the MultiBeast USB stick w/ the High Sierra bits and I can't get it to install. I am following the guide, but I believe it's unclear as during the many times you need to reboot, I think it's critical you choose the proper partition - but that is not mentioned anywhere in the guide.

• Boot to Multibeast
• Use Disk Utility to format my SSD as HFS. Exit DU and start High Sierra Install
• The install starts.
• Reboot
• Using clover choose the SSD that I am doing to the install on
• The install proceeds
• Reboot...choose that same SSD partition from clover and I get stuck about at the black screen w/ the white apple logo and progress bar. I get stuck w/ progress at about 80%.

Doesn't High Sierra create an additional partition(s) that you need to boot to in order to proceed at some point? Been trying everything but I am still not making progress. I am pretty sure there is an order of which partition you need to boot from and when in the process...but I can't figure it out.

Boot your system in Verbose Mode and post a picture of your screen when it freezes/hangs.
At Clover Boot Screen press space bar and select Verbose (-v)
