I have this box together and experienced a weird issue I thought I'd run by the community.
When installing to a 2.5 500 GB WD Black drive, I would consistently get the boot failure seen in the attached photo. I reinstalled and reconfigured five times trying the available DSDT, EasyBeast and every other configuration I could find on the boards. That boot issue remained consistent. I could always load the OS after install if I booted from the Unibeast USB, but I could never get a direct boot from the hard drive without throwing that error.
On my brother's suggestion, I swapped in a spare SSD I had planned for storage on another box. The install went of without a hitch and booted without issue.
The mechanical hard drive functions without issue in every other way and I triple checked that I had the drives formatted the same way. The only thing I can think of that is different is mechanical drive vs. SSD, which should not make any difference.
No urgency here. I ordered a small SSD to be the boot drive, so the problem is solved for me. I am throwing this out for community out of curioisity's sake and in case it helps someone else down the road.
