Hi,
this may sound akward but I cant find my EFI partition or my boot.plist anymore.
Its been a while since I last put Yosemite to my system. Back then I read some manual here on tonymacx and decided to go for an installation where I seperate my win disc and my mac disc.
After that I remember having troubles to boot normally into win7. So I had to adjust some things - which I cant recall.
Anyway, If my thinking is correct I went for an installation where all the post installation kexts etc. would be put on the seperate EFI drive.
Now somehow I cant locate the drive anymore, or in other words, where do i need to perform my changes?
Mac-Pro:~ edje$ diskutil list

I mount the EFI partion with EFI Mounter v3
As it seems I have to EFI partitions. One together on the win disk, and one on the mac disk.
The one on the windisk (disk1):
Mac-Pro:EFI 1 edje$ ls -a
. .Spotlight-V100 ._.Trashes
.. .Trashes .fseventsd
The one on disk0
Mac-Pro:~ edje$ cd /Volumes/EFI
Mac-Pro:EFI edje$ ls
2016-11-28 (a folder I just created)
And the Extra folder from the yosemite disk:
Mac-Pro:Extra edje$ ls
Themes org.chameleon.Boot.plist
modules
If I perform changes ony my boot.plist from my extra folder on the yosemite disk, they do not have an effect. e.g. the theme that is in the theme folder is not the one that is shown on startup.
Can anyone assist me with some guidance here?
Thank you in advance,
best,
