How To Make An Instance of 10.12.5 THE DEFAULT ON Clover Screen?


3 posts in this topic

After booting when I get to the Clover screen that displays icons for devices on which there are operating systems plus  "EFI" and "Recovery" ICONS.

I want "SIERRA" to be the default and system to to SIERRA without any action by me.

It is not happening. EFI is the default volume/device.

 

For Example if the Clover Screen shows ICONS for:

EFI -----Sierra------ Windows 10---------- Recovery              Default seems to be EFI.

 

Even though the BOOT SECTION of config.plist lists default volume is "SIERRA".  

The EFI icon is highlighted when the Clover screen is displayed.

I have to click the SIERRA icon if I want to boot to that drive. 

NOTE: "UEFI Sierra" is listed as the number one location in my BIOS setup.

 

Also the "-v" for verbose & the "5" second timeout do not work either.

Is that an indication that I am making Sierra the default volume in the wrong config.plist,

IF I WANT TO CONTROL BEHAVIOR of THE CLOVER SCREEN ?

 

I'm sure the extracts shown here are from Sierra's config.plist.

Sierra>EFI>Clover>config.plist

 

Here are 2 extracts from config.plist for SIERRA device

Last Booted Volume should work, I'll try it.

 

I think I always used the same volume name. I capitalized in the email to highlight.

My funny style of writing.

 

I still would like to know how to specify the volume name to be booted.

Maybe I did spell them differently or maybe wrong copy of config.plist.

 

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP
