Select Use as: ext4, Format and Mount point: /.ĭon't touch any other partitions (unless adding a /home partition). Select sdx5, (on the target drive), and click Change. Unplug or remove HDD before proceeding further, (optional but recommended, highly recommended in UEFI mode). Open GParted and delete sdx4, the ISO9660 partition and expand sdx5 into the recovered space, sdx being the device name of the Target drive.
Use mkusb to make a Persistent system on the Target USB, 16GB or larger, using default settings with ~12GB persistence, (remaining NTFS partition is used as Windows accessible data partition).
So here we go: Download the Clover installer file from the link above. Now let’s just move to the next section to share the steps you have to follow to download Clover for Windows PC. Clover Specific Boot Flags The following boot flags should only be used in the Clover bootloader.
Use mkusb to make a Live system on the Installer USB (2GB or larger). How to download and install Clover for Windows 10 PC/laptop. archi386 / x8664 These flags boot your machine into 32-bit mode (i386) and 64-bit (x86-64), the default for 10.6+ This mode may help with compatibility on some older machines. This is the configuration file needed make Clover chainload systemd-boot.If you would like your USB drive to be able to boot from multiple computers, both BIOS and UEFI: 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. Initrd=\initramfs-linux-fallback.img root=PARTUUID=d5d0fceb-c58e-c745-a7ff-f2f1b2824e66 rw debug add_efi_memmap
Initrd=\initramfs-linux.img root=PARTUUID=d5d0fceb-c58e-c745-a7ff-f2f1b2824e66 rw add_efi_memmap The EFI partition is mounted at /boot /boot/efi/clover/ist There are 4 popular bootloaders to choose from. In this example, the initramfs and kernel files are placed at the root of the EFI partition, at the same level as the efi directory. Clover will only be able to access USB drives that are connected to a USB 2.0 port (even though you may be able to boot to grub4dos from a USB 3.0 port) I will assume we are only interested in 64-bit booting (the \EFI\CLOVER\BOOTIA32.EFI file and drivers32 folder is required for 32-bit UEFI). We need a bootloader that makes it possible to boot OS X on x86 and x8664 PCs. For other arguments in Arguments, please reference EFISTUB and Kernel parameters#Parameter list.
Backslashes should be used in accordance with EFI standards. The minimal initramfs initramfs-linux.img in Argumentsand the Linux kernel executable vmlinuz-linux in Path are relative to the EFI partition. If you would like your USB drive to be able to boot from multiple computers, both BIOS and UEFI: Use mkusb to make a Live system on the Installer USB (2GB or larger). The key Volume should be the PARTUUID of the EFI partition and must be in upper case. # cp /mnt/iso/usr/standalone/i386/圆4/boot6 /boot/boot ConfigurationĬonfiguration is done through an xml file ist under path EFI/CLOVER from the UEFI partition.Ī tool is now available to easily edit your ist in any OS: Cloud Clover Editor (CCE)įor the meaning of each key, please reference their wiki for custom entries. # dd if=/mnt/iso/usr/standalone/i386/boot0ss of=/dev/sda bs=440 count=1 conv=notruncĬopy the whole /mnt/iso/efi folder to your EFI system partition.Ĭopy the legacy bootloader to the EFI system partition: # dd if=/tmp/newPBR of=/dev/sda1 bs=512 count=1 conv=notrunc # dd if=/tmp/origPBR of=/tmp/newPBR skip=3 seek=3 bs=1 count=87 conv=notrunc # cp /mnt/iso/usr/standalone/i386/boot1f32 /tmp/newPBR # dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/tmp/origPBR bs=512 count=1 conv=notrunc
Merge Clover code with current Master and Partition Boot Records (assuming ESP is partition 1 of /dev/sda, change if necessary): Youll want to format the USB to have a FAT32 partition. On the bottom half, youll see your devices. You should see all of your partitions and disks.
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. Simply open up Disk Management, and format your USB as FAT32: Right click the Start Button on your task bar and select Disk Management. Note: Even though this is Legacy BIOS, the UEFI/GPT partitioning layout is required.
