Autoboot doesn't work!

[mamPHP]

Hi,
I'm using just one hard to Sierra and in config.plist the Volume is correct. But i need to press the F10 to get boot menu then select the hard .. booting to mac. here is the boot in config.plist i tried with 0 timeout is the same:

<key>Boot</key>
	<dict>
		<key>Arguments</key>
		<string>dart=0</string>
		<key>Debug</key>
		<true/>
		<key>DefaultVolume</key>
		<string>Sierra</string>
		<key>Legacy</key>
		<string>PBR</string>
		<key>Secure</key>
		<false/>
		<key>Timeout</key>
		<integer>3</integer>
		<key>XMPDetection</key>
		<string>NO</string>
	</dict>

UEFI disabled, and boot option is located to the hardrive first.

Regards

If you have to select the HDD from the BIOS, then it is not set correctly as the first HDD in BBS boot order. Double check all settings in your BIOS. Post pics of BIOS screens if possible.

Assuming PO: Kingston SSD is you boot drive, then from what I can see the boot order is OK and it should be booting from the SSD. Double check that Clover is actually installed to the SSD rather than to the HDD.
Another thing to check - is Clover EFI folder located in the ESP (EFI System Partition) or is it located in root?
On one of my older systems it had to be installed in root to boot by itself, so you might try that.

Is Clover EFI folder located in the EFI partition or in root?

It could be that your board BIOS needs boot files to be in root. Try this:
1. Mount the EFI partition, backup the EFI folder and then delete it from the partition.
2. run show all files to show the hidden files in the EFI partition and delete them
3. Install Clover Legacy Mode with the standalone installer from sourceforge
4. Open finder and find the EFI partition in root.
5. Replace the Clover folder in the root EFI folder with the Clover folder in your backed up EFI folder.
6. reboot

I did it and i got just a black screen. With Gparted liveUSB moved the EFI again and works now but with F10 at start to select the correct one to boot. I think is a MoBo fault and not a Clover issue. Actually I do reboot just with kernel update, otherwise i let just the machine sleep. must live with
Thank you again for great support and merry Christmas
