My config.plist...

And this affects building a USB installer how?

No problem

Will this method work for 10.8.5.1 as well?

I have an Asus Q87M-E that seems to need Clover for a UEFI boot as Chameleon and chimera don't seem to support from what I can tell.

I just tried adding clover to my current unibeast install, but it doesn't seem to want to cooperate with me. Maybe it needs a fresh install with Clover? I'm assuming UEFI does things differently like it does with windows?

There are no support for 10.3 just 10.4

INSTALLING OSX (making Clover install USB)

We will need hack or Mac to make make this happens,8 GB USB stick(preferred USB 3 for speed)
First mount clean untouched InstallESD.dmg from your appstore mountain lion installer version 10.8.3 like this.

Then go to Contents/SharedSupport and double click on InstalESD.dmg
Next start Disk utility
Choose your USB stick,and then click partition.
Change partition layout: to 1 partition
Then Click option and choose GUID partition table ,click ok.
Choose Format to Mac OS Extended (Journaled),and hit apply,then partition.
Now your USB should look like this.

Next we will restore InstallESD.dmg to our newly formatted USB stick.
Using Disk Utility choose MAC OS X install ESD
Next choose tab restore.

then drag your Untitled 1 to destination.

Next click restore,and then erase and wait till finish.
Unmount all of your MAC OS X install ESD then replug your USB stick.

Now start latest clover setup and choose options for bios booting.
No drivers needed for this.
Open your efi folder and add kext that u need like fakesmc,nullcpu etc...


Now try boot.

Next we have Mac OS X Install ESD option and we select it and we press space and choose option Withkext
First stage of setup should start and we install OSX, setup will restart.
After restart we again boot from USB and choose Install OSX option,press space and choose NoCaches With Kext option.
Setup will now finish stage 2 and again restart.
Again boot from USB and select name of your new installed OSX and press space choose with kext.
U will get to desktop and now just install kext in s/l/e

Oh my... What would entice you to try this? If you are trying to create a Clover Installer, follow the instructions in this thread. There is NO relationship between Clove and Unibeast...

Don't want to be an a$$ but if you can read, you're a genius...

I'm not sure I follow you. This thread is about creating a USB installer for OSX 10.8.3/10.8.4 using Clover as bootloader instead of chameleon/Chimera presumably for UEFI use.

I almost got it working, but I couldn't figure out the options for booting the USB stick. but the installer was trying to start and seemed to error out on Bluetooth iirc, and couldn't figure out how to set GraphicsEnabler=NO which usually bypasses the Bluetooth error.

After your advice in the other thread on getting my unibeast install by installing Clover to the hard drive was working, I kind of forgot about this thread, been busy setting up what I have working.

If you can show me the errors of my ways I'm open to any advice. I think my issues are less reading ability, than reading comprehension. I don't understand a lot of what I read as I'm not very familiar with OS X in general, and is why I had little success.

My comments were based on the following statement: "tried adding clover to my current unibeast install". I misunderstood this to mean to your unibeast disk, my mistake. xpamamadeus post on creating an installer works fine, make sure you have FakeSMC copied to clover> kext> 10.8 and clover> kext> other. If this doesn't work for you PM me and I'll help you run clover on your existing setup without reinstalling anything.

Only Kext u need for your hardware its fakesmc.
Install Clover for UEFI motherboards not legacy!.
use osxaptiofix from clover installer.

When u press spacebar choose withoutcaches with kext option.

I'm interested if this method works also for Legacy BIOSes?

Because every time i need to reinstall my system I need to use unibeast then update boot loader from chimera to Clover.
I want to create legacy Clover installer also for OS X recovery partition.

It is possible?

This guys says it succeeded: http://www.tonymacx86.com/alternate...eal-mac-wonderful-install-osx-experience.html
