Hey AOL!
The first boot was from the USB and I installed unto the NVMe, It auto re-booted, I press F-12 and booted from the NVMe and continued the install, It auto re-booted, I press F-12 and booted from the NVMe and the install got to the third re-boot and the NVMe drive and any other drives disappeared and only the USB Install drive is present.
I created a few iterations of the Install USBs of Betas 10.12.55 & 10.12.57 and the stock config.Plist, to no avail. It still installs until it reaches the last boot stage and the drives disappear.
I also only formatted the drives as GUID, Mac OS X (Journaled), but I did try to use APFS a few times, still didn’t work.
I would appreciate any help as to why no drives appear after the installer tries to install High Sierra!
UPDATE!!!!!!!! I tried the using "EmuVariables64" and it won't even start the install.
I think you don't need the emuvariables64efi kext during install, and in fact it seems to create problems, so I'd recommend not having that in any clover you boot until you get everything sorted. You can always install it later. You may see some funky behavior until it's installed, if your mobo even needs it (GA 10 series needs it, for example, but not all boards have issues, don't know about your board).
Make sure you have the latest apfs.efi in your clover install if you do anything with APFS, from all indications the later betas force it upon you so make sure you have that in there. That would definitely cause drives to go missing, if you don't have apfs.efi in your clover but your drive is formatted apfs.
If that doesn't help, you might simplify a bit, maybe take the nvme out of the equation and for now focus on getting HSB installed on the SSD. Remove variables, you'll get there.
