you need to mount it, use EFI mounter, probably will not work in safe mode though...
there is a guide here:
on how to mount EFI in safe mode

Tried the safe mode tutorial and got this....

Mychels-iMac:~ baba-mychel$ sudo kextutil /kexts/msdosfs.kext


Can't stat /kexts/msdosfs.kext - No such file or directory.




and this with EFi Mounter
Finder got an error: AppleEvent handler failed. (-10000)

Can't stat /kexts/msdosfs.kext - No such file or directory.
was this by using these commands first?
Code:
sudo mkdir /kexts
sudo cp -RX /System/Library/Extensions/msdosfs.kext /kexts
sudo /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Add :OSBundleRequired string" /kexts/msdosfs.kext/Contents/Info.plist
sudo /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Set :OSBundleRequired \"Safe Boot\"" /kexts/msdosfs.kext/Contents/Info.plist

it is an old guide and mat not be viable nowadays
you could try replacing /System/Library/Extensions with /Library/Extensions

Yes I Used those commands first. & I don't understand. so move files from /system/library/extension to /Library/Extension?

replace the commands where it says /System/Library/Extensions/ to /Library/Extensions/ instead and see if that works

mkdir: /kexts: File exists

File Doesn't Exist, Will Create: /kexts/msdosfs.kext/Contents/Info.plist

Set: Entry, ":OSBundleRequired", Does Not Exist
 
But When I use it the original way it says.



mkdir: /kexts: File exists

"mkdir kexts" command creates a directory called kexts
no need to keep trying to re create the same directory

if this doesn't work, then boot using your original usb installer that works
 
I don't even have that anymore. Might have to recreate it. Could I do that in safe mode? & I could just reinstall to fix everything yeah?
Or could I update to Catalina with no issues?
