- Run Mac OS Installer
- I didn’t have to enter any boot arguments to run the installer.
- Make sure to format both partitions as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and GUID Partition Map. This is required to install Windows as UEFI.
- Select the “Mac OS” partition you created and install High Sierra.
- Setup
- Boot into Mac OS High Sierra with your Unibeast flash drive. (I didn't have to use any boot flags.)
- Go through the basic setup process. My wifi card was automatically detected.
- Reboot
- Installing Windows
- Install windows to the “Windows” partition you created earlier.
- Go though the basic setup process after installation of windows.
- Reboot
- Configuration
- Boot into Mac OS using your Unibeast Flash Drive.
- Move the files you copied from your flash drive to the desktop.
- Eject the remove your unibeast flash drive.
- Install Clover UEFI Boot Mode from Multibeast. (It gave me a warning after installation, but it still installed)
- Mount the EFI partition using Clover Configurator.
- Copy FakeSMC to EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other.
- Copy apfs.efi to CLOVER/drivers64UEFI
- Audio
- Download AppleALC, Lilu, and VoodooHDA.
- Copy the AppleALC and Lilu kexts to CLOVER/kexts/Other.
- Also, Install AppleALC and Lilu kexts with Kext Utility.
- Right click VoodooHDA and select Show Package Contents.
- Open the the Info.plist file in the Contents folder.
- Edit as shown (iGain to 0) in TextEdit and install the modified VoodooHDA.kext file with Kext Utility
Code:
<key>MixerValues</key>
<dict>
<key>PCM</key>
<integer>90</integer>
<key>Rec</key>
<integer>90</integer>
<key>iGain</key>
<integer>0</integer>
<key>iMix</key>
<integer>90</integer>
</dict>- If Installing NVIDIA Graphics
- Open EFI/CLOVER/config.plist using Clover Configurator.
- Open the Install Drivers tab.
- Install EmuVariableUefi on the bottom left.
- Open the boot tab and uncheck nv_disable=1.
- Under graphics, uncheck Inject Intel & Inject Nvidia.
- Select iMac 14,2 under SMBIOS.
- Save and close Clover Configurator.
- Download the appropriate NVIDIA Graphics Driver from this link.
- Install NVIDIA drivers and restart.
- Check “NVIDIA Web Driver” under the NVIDIA menu and restart.
- If your NVIDIA Drivers are still not cooperating, open EFI/CLOVER/config.plist with TextEdit and modify as shown below and reboot.
- Open EFI/CLOVER/config.plist using Clover Configurator.
Code:
<key>SystemParameters</key>
<dict>
<key>InjectKexts</key>
<string>YES</string>
<key>InjectSystemID</key>
<true/>
<key>NvidiaWeb</key>
<true/>
</dict>Note: I would recommend unchecking Debug under the Boot tab in Clover Configurator to speed up the Entries Scan hang in the EFI Bootloader.
