Add Ubuntu on a second drive without breaking my Catalina

[carmelo42]

Hi !

My Frankenmac works very well since a few month, but I need to install Linux (Ubuntu flavor) on a second SSD.
I'm using Clover to boot my hackintosh.

Can you explain how can I proceed to the installation of Linux without breaking my Catalina ?
Thanks

Moved to Multi Booting.

The 'sticky' guides in this section may help you.

I have followed this guide : https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-multibooting-uefi-on-separate-drives.198869/

But after installing Ubuntu on sdb and bootloader on sda1 (which is the EFI partition with Clover) I can only boot with Ubuntu ... I can't see Clover anymore ....

Did you check the BBS boot order in UEFI/BIOS?

Finally I did it

1) install ubuntu on /dev/sdb1 with bootloader on /dev/sda1 (EFI with Clover)
2) Choose "UEFI FROM "sda-disk" from BIOS
3) Add "Linux" in Clover Configuration

Thanks
