OS X Mavericks 10.9.5 bootable USB for Intel

[pernacabeluda]

It makes no sense to me because -v (verbose) is a default boot argument in this installer, you should see no apple on white screen, but a lot of white text on black screen.

Hi pernacabeluda, there are two cases:

1. dart=0 ---> stuck on white screen with apple in center

1. -v -------> stuck on black screen with a lot of text

You can move the graphics kexts to be able to boot in VESA mode and do the configuration as Artur suggested

Thanks very much for creating this. It works a treat. I tried creating my own usb using myhack and unishit with Mavericks downloaded from the app store and various other locations to no avail. This worked first time!!!!

hi,

OK i have maverickas up and running well my issue is that i have to boot from the usb. I mounted the efi partition on the hard drive and coppied everything over but for some reason it still says no boot device found unless i use the usb. Is there anything particular about the usb efi partition that might be different from the standard one that osx creates durring install.

thanks

There are other steps than copying the EFI

It works only for UEFI boot. If your mobo doesn't support it, you need to install Clover with the boot0af or boot0ss option.

[rockystar]

i guess my question is why does the pendrive boot from efi and not the hard drive

[pernacabeluda]

If you use UEFI, it boots because it has /EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.efi in the EFI partition.

If you use legacy, it boots because it has Clover EFI boot sectors in MBR and PBR of the EFI partition.

[rockystar]

ok then that's my problem my hard drive is formatted as gpt can i instal the legacy bootsecotrs to a gpt formatted drive. My laptop does have uefi but as it turns out the bios is locked down no way to access it to add the drive as a bott device.

[pernacabeluda]

Yes, you can install legacy boot sectors to GPT, the USB image is GPT too.

Use the Clover pkg installer.

[rockystar]

ok so when trying to use the installer it wont show the efi partition even though its mounted do i have to reformat it. Last time i did that i couldnt get it to not mount on start up

[pernacabeluda]

Choose the OS X volume as install location and check the options "Install Clover in the ESP" and "Install boot0ss in MBR".

[rockystar]

Thanks for the info Im trying that now..

[rockystar]

Ok, it works great my only issue is that EFI mounts like a regular hard drive now. I have it set in the config not to mount. Any ideas?
