Sequoia on an Optiplex 9020!

For whatever reason it appears that OCLP 2.0.2 root patches fail to boot on 15.0.1 with a "bad cpu type in executable" for one of the many binaries launched at boot (unpatched boots fine. This also appears to affect real Macs). I used a cloned volume from my working Haswell Sequoia DB7 root patched T440s to cheat this.

Specifics: Used grub setup_var to set the DVMT preallocated stolen memory above 32MB, as well as disablling the notorious CFG Lock on Haswell. See: https://zearp.github.io/OptiHack/OptiGuide/installation.html

Apart from that, normal install process, WEG, Lilu, etc...

Still pretty fast especially with a cheap SATA SSD chucked in there! :D
