Installed! However, I have spent at least 20 hours over a few days doing this. So perseverance can sometimes pay off.
I will continue to make some suggestions for the Guide over the next week or so. Unless someone says "thanks", but not necessary
In Step 3: Install OSX Yosemite, at step 8 it was a nail biter. Even though the OS X installed said "a second left", it took between 5 and 10 MINUTES to complete the write to the SSD and reboot. I'd suggest the Guide include expected durations when thing take longer than might expected. A few times I suspect that I gave up early and hit reset.
In Step 4: Post-Installation, at step 4 I realized my ethernet didn't work. Not sure why. I did however have all the software copied onto a USB drive. Might be a good suggestion for the Guide.
at step 6, it says to edit config.plist. I simply copied my existing "working" config.plist that I'd used on the USB installer drive. Correct?
Wondering why Clover is configured differently for the SSD than the USB installation drive. Specifically, there's no NullPowerManagement nor HFSPlus. (Note that Clover supplied config.plist seems to have additional options that appear to duplicate what's in NullPowerManagement, but I'm just guessing here.) There's other differences in the screen shots.
My ethernet started working after a couple of boots. I suspect I inadvertently was booting from USB installation drive (it was plugged in) and the USB Clover doesn't work, but the SSD Clover install does support ethernet.
For newbies, a link could be included to where to find/generate DSDT.aml and SSDT.aml. (I'm still looking where to get SSDT) The Clover Configuration explicitly states a file name for DSDT, but not SSDT. Assume this isn't a problem.
In Step 2: Prepare Bootable USB Drive, step 16 says "Choose the USB, now called Install OS X Yosemite". I think this exact text should be copied to all the other applicable steps that say "Choose the USB". It would add to the Consistency.
Consistency, Completeness, and Correctness. I congratulate the authors of the Guide for getting the "Correctness" spot on. Most of my nitpicks are against Consistency. Any suggestions are made solely for Completeness. Again, good job on the Guide. ( I can say that now that I've successfully installed
)
