hey all,

 

I've got a MacBook Pro (2017) that I've been booting in Target Disk Mode with a USB 3.1 cable, and no matter what I try I can't get the drive to show up in Clover. I've been able to chain load booting it by booting a macOS install and then setting the root disk to the Target Disk Mode Disk (after it's mounted by macOS on boot), but this won't work for encrypted APFS drives (since it needs to have the Preboot drive booted first).

 

It doesn't appear that Clover supports mounting drives connected by Target Disk Mode, and after checking the EFI shell, the only device I see is a "Macintosh" device, but I can't mount it using `connect <id>`. Note that the Target Disk Mode drive is formatted as APFS (Encrypted), but I've tried it with a non-encrypted drive with the same result.

 

Any ideas?
