Default boot to boot Clover EFI 64bit, Press key 1 to boot1 for Chameleon Press key 3 to boot3 for Clover EFI 32bit, Press key 6 to boot6 for Clover EFI 64bit, Clover EFI bootloader come from Slice @ ProjectOSX. package by crazybirdy. PKG will install for MBR as below. /boot /EFI/ (folder) /etc/rc.local /etc/rc.shutdown.local and you may need to modify the setup files, refer to /EFI/config-sample.plist. /EFI/config.plist /EFI/BOOT/refit.config Put Extra kexts to /System/Library/Extensions and rebuild kernelcache. Suggest to install Clover EFI to a SD card or flash drive with MBR HFS+, it works fine. Only test on 64bits CPU, both 32bits and 64bits work fine with arch=i386 and arch=x86_64.

eep357 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Mostly this is same as other methods/tutorias except using Clover bootloader instead of Chameleon and some extra steps for auto creating the recovery partition which is only needed for "find my mac" and not required for other iCloud services to work. find my mac will also need a apple branded wifi to work and can be added manually later on if needed. Ermac's version of Chameleon "Enoch" can be used instead of clover as it may be easier as no configuration is really needed and it's only for your installer usb anyway, once up and running you can use either bootloader for booting off your new install's hdd depending on preference. Stage 2, step 1 above can be simplified by just deleting the kernel cache from your installer. Stage 2, step 4 would apply to using Clover bootloader, for chameleon just use -v -x along with any other boot flags you normally use for your hardware. There's a few brief tutorials here in this section for DP3 if more info is needed.

dmazar Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 With the latest Slice's Clover revisions, with existing Lion or ML installation and with some luck, installation of ML (do not know about Lion) can be done like on a real Mac, roughly: 1. if installing to a blank partition, make sure FakeSMC is in Clover's /EFI/kexts/10.8/ or /EFI/kexts/other/ 2. boot into Lion or older ML and just copy Install app to /Applications and run it - this will prepare the installer and ask to restart 3. restart to a Clover menu and select Install option (should appear as a new option) to start Installer (FakeSMC is not needed here) 4. when it is done restart into a new system 4.a. If ML is installed to an existing system, then FakeSMC will stay in /S/L/E and system can be booted normally 4.b. If installed to a new blank partition, then ML should be booted with "extra kexts" option (press space key when a volume is selected) to boot with FakeSMC from /EFI/kexts/10.8/ or 4.c. if installed to a blank partition, boot into other OSX installation and install FakeSMC and other needed stuff to new ML from there 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279603-clover-v2-r480-efi-bootloader-pkg-win_usbtools/#findComment-1831157 Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneTemplePilots Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I wanted to replace my bootx64.efi from windows 7 in ESP partition but it does not work. Did anyone manage to boot from the GPT partition? What's the folder structure? I copied over the hole EFI folder from Clover USB stick without success - it hangs at boot. A guide for an install on the ESP of GPT is missing ; ) and badly my mobo does not boot from USB, instead it hangs at boot7, maybe caused by the phenomenal 'Hybrid EFI' from gigabyte.
