Install MacOS with Vanilla Olarila Image, Step by Step

markgibbons187 replied to MaLd0n's topic in Installation Guides

Followed this Guide for Mojave and being my first hackintosh, install worked well so far. The issue i have is for Catalina. Using Clover Configurator - Mount EFI - Mount and Open partition for the EFI partion of disk0s1(which is the attached SSD), unlike the Mojave install, the folder is blank and i am unable to overwrite with the Clover EFI as i did successfully on the Mojave install.
