I had exactly the same issue on Sierra.

This article explains the issue: http://arstechnica.com/apple/2015/09/os-x-10-11-el-capitan-the-ars-technica-review/8/#h1

Solution:

  1. You have to reboot in Recovery Mode (cmd+R while booting)
  2. Open a terminal in Utilities
  3. Disable the System Integrity Protection with this command: csrutil disable
  4. Reboot

You can of course enable it again later.
