Hi there!
I wanted to check safely that my EFI works with Monterey.
When I restart, I select in the BIOS to boot from the USB drive, I go through the initial volume selection and I choose the "Macintosh HD (external)" option and it stops here (see image).... any suggestions?
I tried to repeat the operation (on the USB drive) with the Big Sur installer (11.6.1) and it gives me back a blank screen (after the boot volume selection). I cannot complete the install procedure.
I am keeping my working 11.5.2 and OC 0.7.4 on my internal SSD.... but I wish I could upgrade!
Thank you!

I wanted to check safely that my EFI works with Monterey.
- I (think I) have followed all the Dortania guidelines and validated my EFI folder (OC 0.7.4) with the ocvalidate utility and it doesn't show any warning.
- The folder works fine on my internal SSD with Big Sur 11.5.2 (even faster than 0.7.3)
- I have placed the EFI folder in the EFI partition of a USB drive
- I have started the installation of Monterey on the USB drive (GUID, HFS+, 128GB), which went ok till it asked to restart.
