Hi, I can confirm that yes - I do have a efidisk set up. The MacOS on Proxmox tutorial <https://www.nicksherlock.com/2019/10/installing-macos-catalina-10-15-on-proxmox-6/> which I followed actually talks explicitly about setting up the efidisk.
The graphical glitch does appear to be some bug between OVMF and MacOS specifically. I have asked upstream (link <https://edk2.groups.io/g/discuss/message/165>) at the Tiancore project in case they know anything. Nicholas has patched the OVMF firmware - details <https://www.nicksherlock.com/2018/04/patch-ovmf-to-support-macos-in-proxmox-5-1/> - but as far as I know, it's only to revert two small commits: Proxmox 5 and 6’s version of the OVMF firmware includes two commits > (2ac1730 and 147fd35) that are intended to mark the pagetables as read-only > during startup. This was first seen in Proxmox 5.1. This conflicts with the > OsxAptioFixDrv drivers in Clover, which expect to be able to modify the > pagetables to remap memory: Do you happen to know if there is a fix in Proxmox that could make this work again, without needing to patch it?
