Similarly, when installing Catalina, the firmware necessary for the boot loader to parse the new two-volume read-only / read-write setup must be installed on the Mac that will boot the installed OS This is why you get the message you get: if you boot a Mac in target mode and attempt to install a new version of macOS onto it, the Mac you install into would not boot (if you had managed), because it would never have had the firmware necessary to boot installed.įor instance, when installing High Sierra on a Mac, the firmware necessary for the boot loader to recognise and boot from an APFS volume and disk structure must be installed, since HS was the first version of macOS to be able to boot from an AFPS volume. ![]() What many people fail to take into account when they install a new version of macOS on a Mac, is that the process does not simply involve copying files to the Mac's internal hard drive, but also a firmware upgrade to make the firmware/EFI support booting from the new OS. ![]()
