This was my first bare metal build. I wanted to make a Mac Pro running Mojave 10.14.6 so I built something as close as I could.
First, I tried UniBeast. It wouldn't boot to the installer without bootflag npci=0x3000
I got through the install and two reboots on the resulting HDD using the bootflag addition. When it came time to boot to macOS I got a garbled screen with the white circle slashed out. A this point I started messing around with Clover Configurator which I used to install Clover v2.5 r5058 on my USB installer. This blew away the UniBeast configuration, forcing me to build the clover config myself. I started following this thread https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...c-pro-successful-build-extended-guide.229353/
I found enough information to make a working system. I tried using MultiBeast, and it failed to create a working post build. In the end I learned it's better to just do it yourself. I wasted a lot of time trying to use UniBeast and MultiBeast. They are great tools, and there is a lot of potential here. I really want a regular install process, like Linux or Windows. macOS just isn't there yet.
All told, it took me 3 days to teach myself how to do this.
