    installation fails/freeze at EFI boot screen. PD version is 11.2.0-32581
    I found that issue has fixed in the Parallels Desktop 11 for Mac version 11.0.2-31348 BUT not it doesn't work again this newer version (above).

    You need to change the Boot Order to place Hard Disk 2 first then start the VM and the install will work.

    Hi, could you share a screenshot of the Boot Order and Hard Disk settings? You can find it under Actions > Configure > Hardware.
