I'm confused about the UEFI boot entries on my system, and I would appreciate some help understanding them!
My Hackintosh is running AMI UEFI BIOS. It has two SSDs, one with El Capitan, the other with Windows 10 (in UEFI legacy mode). I have Clover installed. When I go into Clover's UEFI Boot Shell and run "bcfg boot dump", it shows me this. (please excuse typos, and I added dots to help preserve indentation)
Option: 00. Variable: Boot0000
. Desc - Clover start boot.efi at Macintosh
. DevPath - HD(1,GPT, [my drive's UUID],0x28,0x64000)/\EFI\CLOVER\CLOVERX64.EFI
. Optional - N
Option: 01. Variable: Boot0001
. Desc - Clover start boot.efi at Recovery HD
. DevPath - HD(1,GPT, [my drive's UUID],0x28,0x64000)/\EFI\CLOVER\CLOVERX64.EFI
. Optional - N
Option: 02. Variable: Boot0005
. Desc - Clover start boot.efi at Legacy HD1
. DevPath - HD(1,GPT, [my drive's UUID],0x28,0x64000)/\EFI\CLOVER\CLOVERX64.EFI
. Optional - N
Option: 03. Variable: Boot0081
. Desc - Mac OS X
. DevPath - PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1c,0x4)/Pci(0x0,0x0)/Sata(0x0,0x0,0x0)/HD(2,GPT,[a different UUID])
. Optional - N
Option: 04. Variable: Boot0082
. Desc - Hard Drive
. DecPath - BBS(HD,)
. Optional - N
Option: 05. Variable: Boot0083
. Desc - CD/DVD Drive
. DevPath - BBS(CDROM,)
. Optional - N
Option: 06. Variable: Boot000A
. Desc - Clover start legacy at Legacy HD2
. DevPath - HD(1,GPT, [my drive's UUID],0x28,0x64000)/\EFI\CLOVER\CLOVERX64.EFI
. Optional - N
Do I need all these entries? What's "Recovery HD"?
Options 00 and 01 boot into Mac OS. Option 02 boots into Windows, and option 06 just hangs at a black screen with a flashing cursor. How do these options do different things, if the DevPath on all four of them is the same?
I'd like to be able to run EasyUEFI under Windows to straighten this out, but it refuses to run because Windows isn't installed in UEFI mode.
