FYI there is likely an auto-correct function in this reply form, as it changed my two (2) dashes to one (1) in the above command line. Likely the same issue with Janis’ post.

Correction on Janis’ command to create the bootable installer, it should have two (2) dashes before “volume,” not one (1) as shown.

sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Big\ Sur.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia –volume /Volumes/MyVolume

Found some bugs in your step-by-step description (credits to Dortania project site https://dortania.github.io):
*After step 4) you’ll find in your ~/macOS-Installer/ folder a DMG containing the macOS Installer, called Install_macOS_11.1-20C69.dmg for example. Mount it and you’ll find the installer application. Recommended to move the Install macOS.app into the /Applications folder, as we’ll be executing commands from there.

*in step 5) use macOS Extended (HFS+) with a GUID partition map (Using GUID is important for the patcher). This will create two partitions: the main MyVolume and a second called EFI which is used as a boot partition where your Mac’s firmware will check for boot files. By default, Disk Utility only shows partitions – press Cmd/Win+2 to show all devices (alternatively you can press the View button)

*For step 6) instead of command:
sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Big\ Sur.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia –volume /Volumes/MyVolume
you have to run command (– instead of –)
sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Big\ Sur.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia –volume /Volumes/MyVolume
The rest seems ok.
