Hey, so I'm Master Boot Record legacy booting from a UniBeast Clover Sierra installer USB, and I got this message before reaching the macOS installer screen. Something about "Unable to find driver for this platform" "ACPI".

I've never had this issue before, as far as I'm aware anyway, with my other motherboards P9D WS and Z87-WS.

Any ideas?

Specs:
4790K
Z97-WS

Edit- Just got the same for Yosemite too.

Most of the time this error is caused by abuse/overuse of config.plist/ACPI/DSDT/Fixes.
I don't know what that is. I just did a completely vanilla creation of the USB. Nothing fancy.

BTW why Legacy Boot Mode, your Z97-WS has an UEFI BIOS so it's better to use UEFI Boot Mode.
Also note that your GTX 1060 is not supported.

Trying to get maximum software compatibility.
How is the 1060 not supported? They gave out drivers for Pascal cards in Sierra.

Yes, you are right. I stand corrected.
