What happens is that the installation seems to go well. After installation is complete and I try to boot to the desktop using the USB the first time the computer just reboots just before the desktop appears.

Try hitting Space bar once at boot and select verbose and Safe mode then scroll to bottom, hit return and boot. Try to catch the final error message with a picture.

When I did as you said the system booted up all the way. I did not say the system is acting normal, now! The EFI partition cannot be mounted by any means, such as terminal commands. All commands that should mount the EFI partition are throwing errors and I have never heard of some of the errors I am seeing. Scripts and apps that should mount the EFI partition also fail to do so.
 
This time try hitting space bar and select verbose, single user, don't reboot, keep symbols, and debug.

It should stop at root# type in without " " marks: " mount -uw" then at root# " Fsck -fy" then at root# "exit". After this try a normal boot.

I have discovered that I have an APFS file system on my High Sierra computer. There is literally hundreds of new bash or terminal commands to deal with this new file system. I did not specify APFS when I installed on my system. Can some tell me the easiest way to mount EFI partitions from not only my SSD as well as USB flash drives and USB hard drives??? Please

Mounting EFI is same as it always was.

Determine the bsd identifier you want to mount:
Code:
diskutil list

For example, my output:
Code:
SPEEDY-NUC-2:clover.git rehabman$ diskutil list
/dev/disk0 (internal, physical):
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER

/dev/disk1 (synthesized):
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER

   3:                APFS Volume Recovery                519.7 MB   disk1s3
   4:                APFS Volume VM

As you can see above, my EFI has bsd name 'disk0s1'.

So, I mount it:
Code:
diskutil mount disk0s1

Result:
Code:
SPEEDY-NUC-2:clover.git rehabman$ diskutil mount disk0s1
Volume EFI on disk0s1 mounted
 
Code:
Glenns-iMac:sbin glenn$ diskutil list

Glenns-iMac:sbin glenn$ diskutil mount disk0s1
Volume on disk0s1 failed to mount
If the volume is damaged, try the "readOnly" option

This is what I got, instead
