Hey all, I've successfully installed Catalina in UEFI mode. The system boots fine with USB in- and all devices work as expected (sound, graphics, network, etc). I ran multibeast quick build as I didn't need any additional drivers. I've tried mounting the EFI partitions (clover configurator) of the hard drive and USB and copied the contents of the EFI folder on the USB to the EFI folder on the SSD as suggested in several forum threads. Yet, every time I reboot- it says no bootable drive available. Put the USB back in- clover pops right up. I'd simply use it this way- but I'd really rather figure it out and regain my 32gb USB for other purposes.
Also, for longevity of the device- is there a newer system definition that will work for this build other than the stock 14,1 iMac (2013)? Since that is on the chopping block of receiving Apple's updates (from what I see it won't run Big Sur)... If so, can I simply modify that value somehow or does it require a reinstall? The system is new and unused so I don't mind redoing if necessary/easier.
Additionally- I don't see any way to modify the EFI boot settings in the BIOS of Mobo other than choosing which drive as #1. There are entries there (MacOSX, Debian, etc) but I can't seem to delete old or unused entries or change preference/order..?
Edit: I can get into the EFI filesystem if I use the clover shell entry. However, I must admit I'm not sure what needs to be modified on this level to get the system to boot correctly. (See screenshot- this is with ONLY the SSD plugged in)
Any ideas or thoughts are appreciated. Thanks in advance.
