Yes. Disk first aid found a minor problem on the Mojave disk that I had
hoped to correct before putting it back into service by booting from the
installer and running some fsck commands there, but it is hanging when
booting from the installer. It is possible I created the installer image
incorrectly.
Did you do something other than run createinstallmedia from the installer
app? If you copy an existing installer, make sure you copy the entire
drive and not just the volume. The OS is incapable of fully booting from
a volume (as I've found out the hard way).
If it was just about running fsck for minor problems, why not just boot
into single-user mode?
I took the Apple Silicon machine offline in anticipation of upgrading
it; see https://trac.macports.org/ticket/66637.
Yes, I saw that.
