I’ve a MacBook Professional early 2015 operating macOS Large Sur and am making an attempt to make use of startosinstall to put in macOS Catalina or Excessive Sierra onto an exterior SSD. I would like to have the ability to distribute macOS to a number of SSD’s and shortly so do not wish to have to enter Restoration mode to hold out the set up.
I have been making an attempt to make use of startosinstall to do that and have been utilizing the next code
/Functions/Set up macOS Excessive Sierra.app/Contents/Sources/startosinstall
--volume /Volumes/macOS
--agreetolicense
--nointeraction
to get this working which seems to run however will get caught on Getting ready to run macOS Installer... indefinitely.
I’ve tried trying within the logs and I get the next error messages:

Whats barely unusual is the Goal will not be convertible to APFS: It's possible you'll not set up to this quantity as a result of it can't be transformed to Apple File System error message since I made positive that I transformed the amount to APFS earlier than operating the set up. That is then adopted by Goal will not be convertible to APFS: This quantity will not be formatted as Mac OS Prolonged (Journaled).???
I attempted including —converttoapfs NO to the set up command however this does not appear to alter something.
Formatting as MacOS Prolonged (Journaled) retrieves the next error message Error: This Mac can solely set up macOS on APFS-formatted drives.
Does anybody have any thought what I can do to get this engaged on my lively macOS system?
