HappyHackintosh Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- key>Boot</key> <dict> <key>Arguments</key> <string>dart=0 -v</string> <key>Debug</key> <true/> <key>DefaultVolume</key> <string>Sierra</string> <key>Legacy</key> <string>PBR</string> <key>Secure</key> <false/> <key>Timeout</key> <integer>5</integer> <key>XMPDetection</key> <false/> ---------------------------------------------------------------- <dict> <key>Hide</key> <array> <string>Windows</string> <string>\EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.EFI</string> </array> <key>Language</key> <string>en:0</string> <key>Mouse</key> <dict> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsalem Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Hi, In your message, you mention SIERRA (uppercase), and in the config.plist, it is 'Sierra'. Check which is the actual name. In my case, I use 'LastBootedVolume'. Regards 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyHackintosh Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
