startup disk

I keep getting sent to internet recovery. I erased all data and want to restart so i can sell the computer. I have tried all of the suggested methods but cannot seem to select a startup disk.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.4

What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your Mac

  1. Select Macintosh HD in the sidebar of Disk Utility. Don't see Macintosh HD?
  2. Click the Erase button in the toolbar, then enter the requested details:
    • Name: Macintosh HD
