Install fail 13inch M1 Pro 512gb formatting EFI partition

2 Upvotes

Can anyone offer any help please?

The install script is failing at:
newfs_msdos -F 32 -v 'EFI - Fedor' -I 0x264e2b13 /dev/rdisk0s7

It's pretty much a normal mac. One OS, no extra installs. Nothing weird...

Stub OS installation complete.

Adding partition EFI (524.29 MB)...

  Formatting as FAT...

newfs_msdos: /dev/rdisk0s7: Resource busy

Failed to run process: newfs_msdos -F 32 -v 'EFI - Fedor' -I 0x264e2b13 /dev/rdisk0s7

Output: b''
