Hello guys, I'm totally new to Hackintosh and just made my way through by following the Installation guide of tonymacx86 for Mojave.
My problem right now:
I can only boot into the clover menu with my "ex-USB Installer Drive" plugged in although I formatted it after I finally got to the OSX homescreen.
When I change the USB Port or pull the USB Stick and let the PC boot from the HDD nothing is happening and a little white _ is in th left upper corner.
The reason I formatted the USB Stick was to transfer Multibeast from another Mac to the Hackintosh afterwards.
What I did:
In short:
- system won't boot without my evidently formatted stick which only has a Multibeast folder on it and just from this particular USB Port
Maybe I only formatted one partition of the stick and the EFI partition is still "alive" somewhere and necessary to get to clover?
How can I fix this?
Sorry for such a long message, hope everything is explained properly. And sorry for some english expressions, I'm german

The reason I formatted the USB Stick was to transfer Multibeast from another Mac to the Hackintosh afterwards.
What I did:
- I followed each step in the Installation guide
- BIOS seems to be alright
- booted from the created UniBeast/Clover USB Stick and choosed "External", formatted the HDD I wanted the System to get installed on
- installed the first part of the OS on the HDD
- after a reboot I choosed the HFS+ partition in the Clover menu
- the installation canceled almost immediately, restarted and choosed the HDD again, the installation completed (I think typical problems with Hac )
- I could create my account, set up the mac and was on my homescreen, formatted the USB Stick and pulled Multibeast over from another Mac
- choosed recommended settings for this Mainboard and the iMac 14,2 (maybe there is something wrong?) and hit install to the HDD named "Mojave"
- then I wanted to reboot without the stick but got stuck at the liitle white _ in the left upper corner, nothing happend until I plugged in the nearly empty USB Stick again and did a reboot from the stick
In short:
