Hi,

the above errors regarding the b43 module are related to the WiFi hardware - if you don't need that, you can just ignore these messages.

Regarding the setup - as it seems that the installer GUI fails to start, can you press Ctrl+Alt+F2 (as suggested by the installer as well) and see what errors are printed there? That should help to debug this issue further.

It is related to the Wifi drivers. How do you update this drivers, once you have downloaded the correct ones? Remember without these drivers Proxmox can't access the network because the Wifi drivers are incorrect.

You shouldn't be using WIFI with Proxmox, it's not recommended - use wired Ethernet instead.

If you have no wired Ethernet on the iMac I would recommend going with a USB3 adapter
