Description

During first boot from iso, boot always stopped at a certain time "Dawin bootstrap 6.0.0....".
After changing number of processors from 1 to 2, boot continued. Don't know if this is only an issue for my Macbook Air 2014 (MacBookAir6,2).

Research direction

Start by reproducing the first boot from the ISO on a MacBook Air 2014 (MacBookAir6,2), comparing one and two virtual CPUs at the point where “Darwin bootstrap 6.0.0” stops. Done means confirming the cause or documenting a reliable workaround for the boot failure.
