Wanting to run a legimate copy of OSX in a VM of their choosing seems a perfectly fair use, so at some time this will be addressed. As it would be in their best interests to have other mac compatible firmware.īut the chances of Sun taking that kind of risk, are minimal, The only way we'll see this is when someone takes Apple to task over the bios lock to prevent it running on non-apple hardware. This is the configuration file needed make Clover chainload systemd-boot.Geekfreak wrote:The firmware from the pystar fake macs would be a good place to start. If you need a bootloader for BIOS systems that follows The Boot Loader Specification, then systemd-boot can be pressed into service on BIOS systems.

Merge Clover code with current Master and Partition Boot Records (assuming ESP is partition 1 of /dev/sda, change if necessary):

The only difference is the "Legacy BIOS bootable" flag needs to be set on the EFI system partition.Įxtract the archive Clover-*-X64.iso.7z and find the Clover-*-X64.iso file, mount it to directory like /mnt/iso. Note: Even though this is Legacy BIOS, the UEFI/GPT partitioning layout is required.
