I haven't had any luck installing Beta 5 in a VM from a host running the same. I've tried the recommended way of using the Installer and letting Parallels create disc image, using a secondary hard drive to start the installer, and creating a USB boot drive and booting from that. In all cases, the same thing happens: The system boots to an Apple logo and a progress bar, then locks up. I'm curious if anyone has gotten Beta 5 installed as a clean install, or if we're just waiting for a Parallels update or a new beta at this point...
Hi @Gordon214, Parallels Desktop Engineering Team is investigating this issue. We will update this thread once more information is available.
@Gordon214, can you please initiate a new macOS Big Sur VM installation but this time please leave the VM (when it appears as stuck) for a while, like an hour, and then check if the VM will finally boot to macOS. Please let me know the result.
