Hi everyone.
First the "basics"
iMac running Catalina (10.15.7 - Late 2013)
Tried with two different size drives 2TB / 4TB.
I created a backup with Carbon Copy Cloner of my drive, and when it finishes, it says "Drive is bootable."
I shut down the system, waited for it to completely shut down, restarted with the power button and upon the chime I pressed option, but I never get the choose your drive option. After a given period it boots off of the internal drive.
I have selected the drive right in system preferences -> Startup disk, and I get the same thing.
During research, I read that you have to allow external drive booting on Catalina, so I shut down, restarted pressing Mac+R, got to the recovery and then selected Utility -> Startup Security Utility. I don't get the Authentication password request, I get a firmware request.
Anyone know how I can fix this?
Regards
