48hrs in, zero progress, the z390 struggle continues. Can someone help me interpret these instructions?

I'm using this guide

It says:

Fixing Kernel Panics at Reboot/Shutdown Because NVRAM is not natively working on my motherboard, we have to use the UEFI driver EmuVariableUefi-64.efi. You can install EmuVariableUefi-64.efi using Clover Configurator (Install Drivers) or with the Clover installation package (Customize → UEFI Drivers).

When I added EmuVariableUefi-64.efi to /EFI/CLOVER/drivers64UEFI , I got a crash at bootup.

The solution to that crash is to remove AptioMemoryFix-64.efi and to replace it with OsxAptioFix2Drv-free2000.efi. You can download it from here.

I am told that there are downsides (that I don't fully understand yet) to using OsxAptioFix2Drv-free2000, so do this at your own risk.

I will update this guide when I learn more about all this. Hopefully we can run without these alternative UEFI drivers in the future.

Is that referring to after you get the OS installed or before? I just tried installing leaving that section for after and my install is freezing right away.
