Hi there.I tried to do almost things follow this
http://www.tonymacx86.com/yosemite-...oting-os-x-installer-laptops-clover-uefi.html

and successfully install my Yosemite. THX.
But I meet some problem with Clover's install.
I choose install to UEFI partition only,but it doesn't work.It just install EFI to my Macintosh HD not in EFI partition.Even I use clover configurator to mount EFI partition and reinstall it.Still not work.
Also when I finished install I found there are 3 boot option.
Boot Yosemite from Macintosh HD
Boot Yosemite from Recovery HD
Boot Recovery from Recovery HD
whatever I choose which one,just boot into Yosemite and there is no Recovery HD.
What's wrong with my Laptop?

What do you mean 'not work'?

Post output of 'diskutil list' in Terminal.

I can easily find that EFI partition is disk0s1 and also find recovery partition is disk0s3.
I mean when I choose CLOVER install to EFI only but it install efi to Macintosh HD.It doesn't install EFI to efi partition.

The Clover installer will install to EFI (you still select your system partition) when you choose "Install for UEFI..." from "Customize"

that's what are wrong. I only have option to choose System partition

That is normal. Choose "Customize" and select "Install for UEFI..."

yes,I just do it as you said.But still cannot install to EFI partition. It also can not mount EFI partition.

Sorry, I can't read anything but english...

Did you partition your drive with Disk Utility? What is the output of 'diskutil list'?

Code:
MaOliverdeMacBook-Pro:~ Oliver$ diskutil list/dev/disk0 (internal, physical):
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
   0:      GUID_partition_scheme                        *128.0 GB   disk0
   1:                        EFI EFI                     209.7 MB   disk0s1
   2:          Apple_CoreStorage Macintosh HD            127.2 GB   disk0s2
   3:                 Apple_Boot Recovery HD             650.0 MB   disk0s3
/dev/disk1 (internal, virtual):
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
   0:                  Apple_HFS Macintosh HD           +126.8 GB   disk1
                                 Logical Volume on disk0s2

You might have a "core storage" setup there. Do a search on how to revert it.
