Hello

My cMP3,1 has Monterey installed via OCLP and also a Dosdude version of Mojave on another drive. Until today both appeared in the OCLP boot picker, but now there's only the Monterey option.

Can't think of anything that would have caused this except, possibly, that I tried to create an Apple Hardware Test bootable USB today. Earlier today I had had a "volume hash mismatch" error which I wanted to check out. In order to create the AHT USB I had to run (as adjusted):
cp -r /Volumes/AHT/System /Volumes/USBstick/
sudo bless --folder /Volumes/USBstick/ --file /Volumes/USBstick/System/Library/CoreServices/.diagnostics/diags.efi --label AHT

It seems a bit farfetched that this would have affected the boot menu, or? Having created the USB I tried booting from it but was not able to; I only got a black screen. So I powered down the machine and restarted. That's when I noticed that Mojave was gone from the boot picker.

I have tried setting the Mojave disk as Startup Disk in Sys Prefs, but that will just bring me to the OCLP boot picker with Monterey as the only alternative.

Any ideas how I can solve this?

Thanks very much in advance
Philip
