eSaF Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 @SavageAUS - Ok you've convinced me - I am gonna do a Recovery and see if I can get the Disk to show in the Start Up section and if need be a full re-install, I got time on my hands for 'Crappery' today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea but you do have the choice to pick which disk to restart from whether it is BS or another if you're Dual-Booting? Because the pic you posted I can see BS, in mine I only see Windows unless I manually Mount the BS volume then it shows in the Start Up Disk section.

It is killing me right now (Oh why do I let small $hit like this bother me so much ). BS only shows if I mount it manually or Hot-Plug Catalina and that aint normal Beta or no Beta Spoiler Edited July 24, 2020 by eSaF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takiller Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 You see now this beta 3 is just refusing both my AR5B95 Wifi card and the TP Link 725n usb Wifi, no matter what I try. They are both working with the previous two betas. I wonder what they did, but I will keep on trying till I get at least one of them working 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorenoAv Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 (edited) @eSaF, You are determined to wind the BS war... I like it, today when I return home I'm erasing my BS thingy and start fresh, because there are some things that I don't like. For that reason although I solved the "Preboot" issue, the bluetooth... fresh install it is... PS: On a side note, right now I'm at work, and I have a real Mac mini 2018, the update appeared and I installed it but it was only 4,99 GB. after finishing that update appeared the other with 11,98 GB to download.

arsradu Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 (edited) @MorenoAv yeah, the 5GB one is the incremental update. The 12GB one is the full installer. And the fact that it's showing both seems to be a bug. Edited July 24, 2020 by arsradu 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, following the instructions of @fusion71au the "issue" was solved. I didn't copy any file, I just run csrutil disable, then csrutil authenticated-root disable in the terminal in the BS recovery partition and restarted my computer. After that the Big Sur volume was correctly shown in the OC picker! just like that. I hope it helps, Good luck.

BS is weird even in real Macs... LoL ... Yes for me it is a war, some days I win some days I lose . I just done a Recovery not from Time Machine or a back-up disk but a Live one from Apple Servers, over my BS beta3 install and I did not get to the object of my initial plan which was to get the BS Disk to show in the Disk Start Up panel, All I achieved was the named Disk in the boot menu reverting to the name Preboot and BS still not in Start Up panel, so that is one battle I lost But on the plus side, Recovery works perfect you can install over the original installation or delete and install a fresh copy of BS, so far the moment I will recoup and gather the troops and save the battle for another day but that is not going to stop me from doing covert operations on BS like a Ninja. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those who want to rename "Preboot" in your OC GUI menu to "Big Sur", extract the text file disk_label.contentDetails into your ~/Downloads folder. Use diskutil to mount Big_Sur's Preboot volume, then copy the file disk_label.contentDetails to /Preboot/UUID/System/Library/CoreServices with the "." prefix eg sudo mv ~/Downloads/disk_label.contentDetails /System/Volumes/Preboot/UUID/System/Library/CoreServices/.disk_label.contentDetails ... ... Perfect, I even renamed the drive inside the text file to match my HD (Macintosh HD) Works as intended, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's correct, you need to do it from the recovery partition. Cheers, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was only meant for people who can't see the update in Software Update section. Please, take a look at the known issues here: https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/extras/big-sur/#installation "This is actually the part at where macOS will seal the system volume, and where it may seem that macOS has gotten stuck. DO NOT RESTART thinking you're stuck, this will take quite some time to complete." how can you stop sealing? so that you then have full write permissions? It was possible with the option "pull plug" at this point, is that still possible and then the sealing is stopped but the system is then completely installed?
