Something odd is going on. I think those messages are from the [HDMI diagnostics screen](https://community.info-beamer.com/t/pi4-diagnostic-screen/865). I’m not sure whether or not NOOBS uses EFI (the volume name suggest that?). Not entirely sure what all the log lines mean. Do you have an external USB drive attached?

I think NOOBS repartitions the SD and you might end up with multiple FAT partitions. Maybe you placed the info-beamer installation files on the wrong one when you unzipped the install.zip file?

An alternative approach would be to use the file system image installation method using `install.img.gz` instead, for example using the [Pi Imager](https://www.raspberrypi.org/software/) software. If you start that from a command line, you might even [add the arguments so it directly shows all available info-beamer OS options](https://community.info-beamer.com/t/flashing-info-beamer-using-the-new-raspberry-pi-imager/830).
