Hi,
Because I want to make sure that Monterey works on my system before committing to upgrading the install on my NVMe (Mojave) I decided to install Monterey on a spare SATA drive I have for this purpose.
Monterey installed fine on SATA, and gave me an option to boot from "macOS installer" after it had done installing. I chose that, and got a message stating "A required firmware update could not be installed." which I assume is safe to ignore.
After this step, I am prompted to "Select the system you want to use to start up your computer" and my SATA drive is not there. I connected the NVMe (which I disconnected since I'm paranoid) and that shows up as option to use to startup.
Do SATA drives not work properly to use as a main drive for Monterey? Am I Missing something?
Thank you in advance,
