Help: each update cause the mac to boot from the wrong partition
Hello guys,
something weird happened to me recently. I had to change my HD cause it was broken and so I installed a new Samsung SSD and start High Sierra installation via internet (I couldn't manage to download a complete high sierra image from the app store, cause it kept downloading just 19 Mbytes.
Anyway, this caused the mac to lose the "boot primary partition" each time there's an update. It completes the update but then it reboots in a grey screen with a barred/crossed circle in the middle (like it misses the HD) where it stays forever until I switch it off and on manually.
I think this has something to do with the partition scheme, but I don't have any idea how to fix it.
"Diskutil list" command gives this back:

3: APFS Volume Recovery 516.5 MB disk1s3
4: APFS Volume VM 3.2 GB disk1s4
How do I set it properly ? Any idea ?
Is the mac entering one of the "virtual volume" ? There is only 1 disk in this computer.
Thanks a lot.
