Clover: manually add boot entry

[capsjcum]

Hi all,
I'm trying to dual-boot MacOS and Linux Mint. Mint was the first successfully installed OS. Then I followed the procedure for installing Sierra with Clover as a bootloader. After a bit of trial and error (like I had to install both OS on the HD with the EFI partition) I managed to install both.
The main problem, however, is that Clover doesn't recognize Linux Mint: is there a way to add the boot entry to Clover?
The SSD HD where EFI partition is installed is /dev/sdb
/dev/sdb1 EFI partition
/dev/sdb2 SWAP
/dev/sdb3 Linux Mint / (the /home is in another HDD)
/dev/sdb4 MacOS

Thank you in advance!

When Clover screen shows you only icon for OS X, fix with a config.plist edit.
Choose the OS X icon and boot to desktop. You will need to download Xcode or your favorite plist editor for this next step.
Mount the EFI partition and navigate to the config.plist. Open the config.plist in Xcode and add this entry:

Hi Going Bald, thank you for your reply.
Actually, I checked with Clover Configurator (and also with an editor like Sublime, from Linux) and these settings were already there.
After discovering this, I checked if Linux Mint was actually booted in EFI o Legacy Mode, and it was Legacy mode (I think this was an effect of the installation of Clover and macOS). So, using a Live USB I converted the Linux installation to a UEFI one, following this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/5094...-bios-install-to-efi-uefi-without-boot-repair
So, now the system boot to Linux Mint but, of course, Clover doesn't start anymore.
I think that now I have all the correct files in the /boot/efi folder, just to set Clover as the default bootloader. Any hints?

To add more context.
This is the EFI partition seen by Linux.

# pwd
/boot/efi/EFI

Hi Going Bald,
thank you for your reply.
Your suggestion put me on the right path.
Actually, having Clover already installed it was just a matter of put Clover partition to boot at first from BIOS setup.
In the boot priority Linux Mint partition was set at first, putting Clover partition on top did the trick.
Actually it was as simple as this.

Now I have to do all the configuration to make audio works, resolve video artifacts and so on... Matter for other threads
