Whelp, I may have bit off more than I can chew thinking it'd be an easy fix.
I successfully updated from Catalina to Big Sur and this time I did not have any issues with AppleID and Messages. I did, however, have a problem with space as it seems Big Sur was installed as a separate partition, resulting in a Catalina-looking partition different than the partition that seemed to be running Big Sur.
I decided to just wipe the entire 970 clean and start from scratch...except now I can't boot into either of my USB installers (Catalina / Big Sur). I just get the lovely white ban icon about 2/3 of the way through the initial loader.
I get an error on POST chirping about an unknown definition of 'iMac Pro 19,1' in dict '/SMBIOS/ProductName:605'...did I screw this up because I did not clear out the SMBIOS data before attempting a clean install?
I have a picture of the full POST error, and I have screen shots of my Clover configuration pages before I wiped the entire 970 if those will help in any way.
I may have answered my own question. Thankfully I still have access to an MBP and I simply overwrote the EFI directory with your most recent Clover EFI zip and it appears to be installing Big Sur. Here's hoping she works!
