Asus Z87-Plus - won't boot from UEFI? What is wrong? - RESOLVED

[DanZi]

Hey Folks,

I am struggling with the sierra installer to get my Z87-Plus mobo booting.

1. using Disk utility to erase and GUID partition with OSX journaled
2. Unibeast 7.0.1 creates the install media as per Tony's guide (I do inject NVIDIA cos I have a GTX 960 card)
3. copying MultiBeast 9.0.1 as per the guide
4. disabling in Bios Intel VT-d.

After a blinking cursor here and there flickering on the screen I find myself in bios, no matter how I try. Tried even disconnecting the target HDD. It just won't boot up.

I am using a Sandisk Cruzer 16 gig USB in a USB 2 slot. (SDCZ36-016g)

Do I switch back to Unibeast creating a Legacy boot drive now?

Ok, here is how:

1. I went with 10.12 and used UniBeast to create a legacy install - took about half an hour
2. This booted ok - internet was working OOB
3. Used Multibeast for:
* UEFI boot loader
* Realtek ALC 892 audio
* Intel Generic AHCI sata
* AppleIntelE1000 v3.3.3
* 7/8/9 USB support (no sure if this is actually needed or in use)
* did NOT inject NVidia, cos I have a GTX 960 card.
3. Installed the appropriate Nvidia driver for 10.12
4. installed macOS updated 10.12.2 via appstore
5. Updated NVidia drivers

For sound output I needed to change to internal speakers, line out was selected by default.

Works like dandy so far!
