Fix Steps
- Boot with
-v keepsyms=1 debug=0x100to identify the exact kernel panic. - Validate your config.plist using ocvalidate.

Original Question:
After installing Catalina and starting it up for the first time, I moved the EFI folder from USB to the Catalina EFI partition. However, when restarting and entering BIOS to set the boot order, OpenCore is not offered as a choice. It was, though, when the USB stick was plugged in.
Any idea what I am doing wrong?
