Hi,
Trying to do a complete clean install of my 7,1 Mac Pro with a fresh copy of catalina. I followed the instructions to download the installer file and create a bootable USB drive for installation. I enabled boot from external devices in the boot security utility. Everytime it boots from the USB drive however, the setup reboots and either goes into the already installed Mac OS or into the recovery partition.
I thought my install drive could be faulty so I re-created one, but still experiencing the same issue. I recall this process being much easier on earlier Macs but haven't quite figured out the easiest way to do it with Catalina. Are there any trusted forum step-by-step instructions for making a boot disk, that may perhaps be useful, or am I overlooking something minor that would help solve this?
Thanks!
