Gigamaxx Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 For 2nd part of installation there is no recovery the only options available is install high sierra externak, pre boot,and install mac os high sierra from hdd I’m not sure if this is pertinent to you but Slice had mentioned you may need the FF and FFM to be properly set in clover bootloader. This is the Firmware Features and Firmware Features Mask in the Symbios section of Clover or clover configurator. Check your boot manager menu (Symbios section) for these values, if they are 0x00000 then it may be an issue. A fresh instal with the default clover settings may work which means not using your modified config.plist for the install.

Just replace to be the new prelinkedkernel as you needed. New prelinkedkernel will make usb mouse work on the screen of error of OSInstall.mpkg.

crazybirdy Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 You can boot Disk1mbrInstaller (from MBR patch method), it will show you top menu of the error. You need to make Disk1mbrInstaller only, and need to do step A4, A5 to make usb mouse works. We need install log to find the error of OSInstall.mpkg. or you can find it from target partition if exist. /private/var/log/install.log Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/328405-the-path-systeminstallationpackagesosinstallmpkg-appears-to-be-missing-or-damaged-help-please/page/2/#findComment-2531710 Share on other sites More sharing options...
