Updates
System updates, such as 10.14.1, should install normally if 'Software Update Patch' was selected in the macOS Post Install tool, or installed using the Patch Updater program. If for some reason updates aren't showing up, or are not installing correctly, you will need to re-install the Software Update Patch using the Patch Updater application.
-- If the machine does not start up properly after applying a system update, you will need to boot off your patched installer volume, and re-run the post-install patch on your Mojave volume. Ensure you select 'Force Cache Rebuild' before rebooting.
