lottenow Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Hi All, As per title I am looking for a way to hide partitions or disks during boot picker on OpenCore. Essentially, I would like to hide NTFS volumes during boot picker and only use them through Finder once logged in into my hackintosh on Big Sur. I believe I should look at ScanPolicy, but I was wondering what the right value would be? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi - I believe if you leave the default value in the config.plist, it will only show the BS volume at the Boot Menu. So the setting would be Security/ScanPolicy/Number 17760515 (see example attached) Spoiler . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can boot directly into BS without seeing anything, uncheck - show picker https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TB7zS4A_1X4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lottenow Posted March 29, 2021 Author Share Posted March 29, 2021 Thank you all for your suggestions! @eSaF : The failsafe value seems to have done the trick. Do you think this will affect the boot picker when updating the system? Normally a "macOS Update" or "macOS Installer" option shows up on Boot Picker.

Not at all, the installer volume should show up at the Boot Menu and disappear once the install is successful, at least that is my understanding.
