Preboot folder file doesn't exist
See original GitHub issueHardware: MacBook Pro (13-inch, M1, 2020) 16GB Memory 1TB SSD
Issue:
Preboot folder path "/Volumes/Preboot/2619E52E-F53F-4CB9-8116-25F15BDCA26B/System/Library/CoreServices" doesn't exist.
Couldn't set bless data in preboot volume for device /dev/disk4s2
Failed to run bless. Press enter to try again.
Everything was going smoothly till this step. Poked around said folder and found that System/Library/CoreServices were all missing within the folder, everything else seems to have installed smoothly.

Make sure you delete your existing partitions first if you’re doing a full reinstall. If you have a simple macOS install without weird partitions you want to keep, you can use this:
