Installer fails, crossed-through circle

[VinnySem]

I am trying to perform a clean install of Mojave on a system that has fully functional High Sierra install.
I downloaded the Mojave installer, and got the ~22MB stub installer file. Followed the guides on here to create the full install package.
Downloaded the Mojave Unibeast, created a Mojave USB boot drive.
I inserted said Mojave USB in a USB 2.0 slot, and booted the machine. Selected "Install Mojave" at the Clover screen.
A crossed-through circle appears indicating installer failed. Not sure what to do at this point.
No other devices connected except KB, mouse, target install drive, and DisplayPort cable into on-board DP1 port. BIOS settings are all as recommended for my board BIOS.
Any help is appreciated.

Not sure what to do at this point

Boot in verbose mode and post a picture here of the screen when it stops.

OK so now the installer is making a liar out of me. Just succeeded through the first stage of install and reboot.


Edit: Spoke too soon. Now I am getting "macOS could not be installed on your computer.. installer resources error"

I found the post about running the 'startosinstall' from the terminal. Trying that. Uffa!

Ok that was taking too long. Started over and used the "copy sharedsupport" method on the same post... that seems to be working fine! 10 minutes remaining!
