Mac is stuck in the "downloading additional drivers" phase of int rec
I unretired my early 2011 17" MacBook Pro (a1297) when I found this guide (https://gist.github.com/cdleon/d1eff7246...) which disables the defective dGPU.
It's a great chassis so I want to use it as a browsing machine.
It should be adequately fast so I maxed its RAM out (16GB) and installed a SSD (1TB), but getting Mac OS onto said SSD proved really hard (the workaround for the defective dGPU stops me from doing NVRAM SMC etc. resets).
Being so old I also couldn't create a USB installer, therefore I used internet recovery to install Mac OS but it is stuck at "downloading additional drivers" with 21 Minutes remaining.
What can I do?
