With this error

Checking read access to necessary directories... Access check succeeded.

/Volumes/Install macOS Big Sur found on device /dev/disk2s1 The volume /Volumes/Install macOS Big Sur appears to be on partition 1 of the USB stick, therefore the stick is incorrectly partitioned (possibly MBR instead of GPT?).

Please use Disk Utility to erase the USB stick as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" format on "GUID Partition Map" scheme and start over with "createinstallmedia". Or for other methods, please refer to the micropatcher README for more information.

install-setvars cannot continue.

My installed USB is already partitioned as Mac OS Extended (Journaled), and I successfully used this installed another mac to do a clean install of Big Sur.

Is it GUID Partition Map?
