Every time I try to "Restart Now," I get an error. I've tried restarting in Safe Mode. No joy. Am I going to be stuck here? I've owned Macs since 1989, and while I'm nowhere near a novice, I am totally baffled what to do about this… other than call Apple, though they tend not to want to help when it comes to beta versions.
Got a tip for us?

Was this the RC version? I know some had problems with that one, though I was lucky. Can you boot into recovery mode and then reinstall Sonoma from a backup?
What Mac are you installing Sequoia?
More importantly, are you using OCLP, so you can use a newer version of macOS than your Mac officially supports?
If you are not using OCLP, and this is what should be a normal update, there's only a couple of days to wait for the public release of Sequoia, when you can download the full installer, and make a bootable USB

I believe it's the RC version. Can't reinstall Sonoma from a backup. I should have saved a Sonoma backup, but my backups are up to date with Sequoia. I should have known better.
I've got a Mac Studio with an M1 Max processor. If I can get a full version from the App Store, that should resolve the problem. I'll just have to wait.
Even tried downloading from the App Store, rebooting in Safe Mode, installing on a different drive. Nothing works.
