I just picked up a 7,1 Mac Pro. I accidentally turned it off during the install of Catalina. When restarted I can no longer boot into recovery mode. When I press command-R I’m taken to internet recovery which leaves me with a -2003f (even though I’m connected via Ethernet). Strange because I thought internet recovery was command option R.
I try a pram reset... I think because there is no recovery I get one late chime because there is no first chime.
How do I get to regular recovery? What do I do at this point? There is also not enough time to choose the WiFi because it quickly disappears into internet recovery mode
