A few questions if I may?:
1. Has anyone here including
Gigamaxx managed to get this up and running using VGA? For some reason my displayport is playing up (bought second hand off eBay) and I can't even see the bios when turning the machine on
although before embarking on this journey I managed to extend my Windows desktop onto the monitor connected via displayport before formatting the drive using the OSX installer leading me to believe it
is working but requires Windows to be running at the time the monitor is plugged in to the displayport and does not work outside of this scenario.
I have tried creating a Catalina installation USB using Unibeast, then overwriting the EFI folder attached in #1 but I never reach the MacOS installer. I
DID reach it though using the standard Unibeast USB stick though originally and even managed to install Catalina using the normal Unibeast stick. My problems arose when using Multibeast which broke the boot which brought me here looking for a better solution.
One solution was using a github repo of an EFI folder using opencore:
https://github.com/asle/lenovo_m93p_mini_hackintosh but now every time I try something new the boot options are stuck on verbose even after clearing the nvram. So any solutions to clearing the boot options from "-v keepsyms=1 debug=0x100 alcid=11" would be very welcome
2. Is it not working because my system only has 4GB of RAM and therefore is a different system config than the one in the EFI download?
3. Following on from question 1, is it even possible to boot without a monitor attached and run it "headless" if the boot depends on which port the monitor is plugged into? (assuming VGA in 1. is the issue). I had Windows 10 LTSC on this machine and SMB was sketchy at least and my legacy PPC and OS9 Macs can't see the PC to back up onto it's external USB 12TB drive and seeing as Acronis AFP server is $700 I decided the best way was to have a proper Mac server running without a monitor attached. Ideally I'd like the same setup as the Windows one where the machine can sit on the desk not plugged into a monitor connected to the router running AFP, SMB, Backblaze and Plex?
I've been on this for two days now and it's eating into work time as I no longer have a home server running so any advice would be very much appreciated
