Import your config.plist from the HDD EFI partition in Clover Configurator.
If you go to the apple icon in the upper left of the desktop and open 'about this mac' then hit system report a page will come up that has a field called Model Identifier. For instance it might say MacPro3,1.
In Clover Configurator go to the SMBIOS tab and hit the magic wand looking thing on the right. In the topmost dropdown dialog select the matching Model. On the far right hit shake a couple times for Week of Manufactur and Unit number for serial number generation. When you're happy with the S/N hit OK.
In terminal type in: uuidgen. Enter this a couple of times. Copy the value and enter it in SmUUID field on SMBIOS tab. Take your serial number and copy it into Board Serial Number field on SMBIOS page. Add random alpha / numeric values somewhere in the middle of the number you copied in Board S/N until it is 17 digits in length.
File -> Export Configuration will copy these new values into your config.plist file. This will give you a serial number and the persistent MLB and ROM values necessary for iMessage.
Hope this helps.
OK, yes that is very helpful. So when you say my HDD EFI partition, I guess I would have to have the install up and going before I configure all of that in my .plist file?
If that is the case, what .plist config do you recommend that I use on the USB for the install?
Thanks again.
