I’m trying to install Catalina on an empty external 500gb SSD, formatted APFS. My Mac is also running Catalina. I went to the App Store and fetched a copy of the installer, which is now sitting in my Applications folder, all 8gb of it.
I start the installer, point it at my external SSD, and it starts chugging, looking all OK. The progress meter says 5 minutes. After around that time, with nothing unusual reported, the screen goes black and the restart sequence begins. But it restarts from my internal disk and the new installation is not complete.
Second attempt, I followed instructions to create a bootable USB installation disk on another USB drive, booted to it and started the installation from there. Same result.
Any suggestions?
