[QUOTE="krs, post: 1884182, member: 67742"] Is there any official Apple documentation that this is the way it's supposed to work. I'm always leery when people "fiddle" and get something to work that maybe the company didn't intend to work that way, ie it's actually a bug, and then the bug gets fixed and the method described to longer works (since it was ever intended to work that way). I read not more than a few weeks ago, also in one of the publications covering the latest technical aspects of the M1 Macs and associated software, that preventing booting of the M1 Mac from an external drive was done on purpose. Rationale was that if the M1 Mac was lost or stolen, Apple supposedly wanted to prevent a third party from booting up that Mac using an external drive, then use that to wipe the internal storage (which is part of the M1 SoC) and thus make that lost/stolen Mac usable again. But of course that was just that author's opinion. Made a little bit of sense to me, but just a little. [/QUOTE]
