Well, after wasting a bunch of time trying every combination of login names imaginable with the password I know works I guess it's time to just completely re-do my Mac from the ground up, because Why Not.

@lina @thephd I will second Asahi Lina advice, she and marcan@treehouse.systems know a lot more than me about macOS boot process and fixing macOS.

@thephd @lina This will not work because Apple Silicon does not boot off USB. You always boot the kernel from a container on the internal drive. The kernel can then do other things like load the remainder of the system from a USB drive, but if you've hosed the Boot process, you won't boot from USB either.

If you don't have any other computer lying around, idevicerestore can't do anything for you.

@thephd @lina At least your mac has a screen to display the exclamation mark. Mac Minis and Mac Studios do not have this luxury and may resort to flashing a Morse SOS as the only way to tell that the boot loader is hosed and they need to be revived by another device.

@lina @thephd In the past I think there used to be a crashing startup chime / sad mac start-up chime, has this vanished too ?
