Hello!
First of all, apologies if my question is rookie-worthy. I have spent the last three days trying to get my head around the booting system and clearly there are several things I still do not understand fully.
I have installed El Capitan following the installation guide. My booting is "Legacy Mode" and that is how I built the USB and also that is the post-configuration that I loaded.
My question is: When Clover loads, do I have to boot from EFI or directly from the hard drive? I understand EFI will store all the configurations and drivers, but unfortunately trying to boot from EFI always results in an instant error. Is that because of my legacy mode? Should I do something to be able to boot from EFI? How do I load configuration or drivers if I cannot load from the EFI partition?
Thank you very much for your assistance, and my apologies if this is too basic! After all the reading I have done I am unable to get clarity.
Thanks!
Jon
