Monterey installer not visible

[duxnobis13]

Hi all
I have tried to follow Nick Sherlocks monterey installation guide but for whatever reason the installer does not show up when starting the VM.
So I have no idea what happened in the meantime or what I accidetnially changed.

I am using Proxmox 7.2-4

For the rest, please let me know what you need and I will trie to provide...

The screenshots show the 3 stages of the boot.

You set ide2 (OpenCore-v15.iso) as the first boot ISO, maybe ide0 (Monterey_v3.iso) works better? Maybe it needs a key press before you get the chance to open a console?
You don't do a passthrough of a (MacOS compatible) GPU, maybe that's a problem? Is the VMWare virtual display supported by MacOS?
I know next to nothing about MacOS or their installers, sorry. I'm frankly surprised that their license allows you to run it in a virtual machine.

Na, you need the opencore first and the gpu is not required. I have an on chip one. No problem, thanks for trying. Again, I have followed Nick Sherlocks guide. But maybe I have screwed up something on proxmox level. I dont think its a VM issue.

Nobody? Am I the only one who ever faced this issue?

This might be a little late but you need to manually enter the efi and point it in the right direction.

# change to the Monterey .iso, the disk number may be different for you
