I've just added a recovery partition to my Hackintosh to be a bit more like a true Mac. I found out the hard way that OSX Mavericks has a nasty issue where it will screw up your home directory permissions occasionally without warning, and the only way to fix it is to go into recovery mode and use the resetpassword app (only on recovery partition) and hit the Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACL button.

Anyway, the way a real mac would do this is by holding ⌘ and r buttons while you start up your Mac. Well, we have Chimera/Chameleon, which gives us a bootloader that allows us to boot from different partitions, including the 6.5 GB partition I created and used Unibeast to install the OSX installer, which is essentially what the recovery partition is. I followed Tony's guide below, and it still works on Mavericks, even though the last update was for Mountain Lion.

So, I've done it, and it works, but now my "Recovery HD" shows up in the bootloader. I'd like to hide it, more like a true mac, but be able to get a full listing off all partitions/disks. I know how to hide the partitions, but not how to expose them on the fly. Is there a way to do this?
