*** EDIT **** SOLVED **** weird... I tried booting a few times and had the same issue. But then I switched the USB drive to the 3.1 port instead of the 3.0 port on the MB and now for some reason it worked and I'm continuing with the post install. If anyone else runs into this problem, that might be your solution! ******
I tried searching for this error but couldn't find info on it.
As far as I know I followed this instructional to the tee, with the exception of one part which I'll detail after describing the problem.
Basic overview of the problem;
1. After successful install, at first boot of Mojave we stalled on the Wifi setup
2. Tried a reboot to see if that would help
3. After reboot, booting from Mojave brought me to a black screen with a white circle backslash symbol (no symbol) and that's as far as we get.
Detailed description;
Ran into a problem right at this section of the tutorial:
"Notice that the word "Install" is no longer present in these new names. Installation is already done, so now we choose Boot macOS from Mojave. This is the actual Mojave OS disk.
When the Welcome screen appears choose your region, your keyboard, etc. But do not sign in to iCloud at this time. Choose Setup Later instead. Signing into iCloud registers the serial number of the computer, but this serial number will change in Post-Installation, which will then result in two new systems being registered in iCloud. So skip iCloud sign-in until post-installation is done and you've rebooted after post-installation.
Now that Mojave is up and running, we need to enable all of the goodies on this motherboard, such as hot-plug Thunderbolt 3, both of the gigabit Ethernet ports, on-board Realtek audio, Broadcom Bluetooth, etc. And we also need to enable various Mojave features such as sleep, wake, Messages, FaceTime, etc. This is all accomplished in Post Installation, which begins right now..."
My error came right after selecting the region, keyboard language, and then Wifi setup. It recognized my wifi (signalling the wifi card is working?) but the screen stalled here. My wifi router sent me a push notification saying
"A device called Apple iMac just connected to your home network for the first time" So clearly it did connect to wifi but the screen stalled here for a good 15 mins. I figured a reboot might help and tried this. Only now when I try to boot into Mojave (F12 at bios -> USB drive --> from clover choosing Boot Mojave OS (which is on internal SSD)) all I get is a black screen with a white circle with a backslash through it.
Any ideas on what caused this and solutions?
NOW: to the only part I know seemed different from the tutorial;
at this section:
"And no changes are needed in System Parameters. Now save the config.plist and quit Clover Configurator.
We're almost done. We need to delete AptioMemoryFix-64.efi from the CLOVER/drivers64UEFI folder on the EFI partition of the USB install disk and replace it with OsxAptioFix2Drv-free2000.efi as shown in the red box below. Please download this EFI file from the bottom of this guide."
It appears like the version of Unibeast I used (9.3.0) had slightly different setup. It didn't have a driver folder called "Drivers64UEFI" I think it was just "DriversUEFI" and then "
AptioMemoryFix-64.efi" didn't exist but there was something like "AptioMemoryFix.efi" which I replaced with OsxAptioFix2Drv-free2000.efi.
Also the Lilu and Whatevergreen KEXTS were in the proper file already so I left them there.
Not sure if this would have caused the issue I had, but it's worth mentioning.

All thoughts and help are much appreciated! Been running into issues and I can't wait to get this up.
NOTE* Installing Mojave be cause of this issue I ran into detailed on this thread:
Hey Hackintosh friends! I am having some trouble... I've tried searching through the threads using "Couldn't create USB installer" I've read through the Unibeast troubleshoot notes: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/unibeast-8-troubleshooting-notes.235489/ And still, I can't find a solution...
