I’ve been away for a few days, so you may have resolved this one. What are you booting from? You must have a system drive connected to the machine for it to boot. A bare, unformatted drive will not boot your machine. It looks to me like an attempt to netboot because it can’t see an operating system. My usual procedure is to connect a new drive externally to another good machine. After the good machine boots, I can install a file system and MacOS on the new drive. L^2
