Hi,

I'm trying to install CLOVER to my SSD EFI partition on a FussionDrive, but I haven't been able to do so...

I've followed this tutorial (http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/294035-fusion-drive-easy-step-with-clover-efi/) but got stoked at point 6 "Copy data in EFI partition to Fusion drive". Right now I have SSD EFI and USB EFI partitions mounted but don't know how to copy files with the command:

Code:
cp -r /Volumes/EFI/EFI/ /Volumes/ESP1/EFI/
cp -r /Volumes/EFI/EFI/ /Volumes/ESP1/EFI/

I also don't really know why should I do step 7 (Install Ethernet kext to Fusion Drive for first Login).

Also in point 8, How do I choose the SSD EFI partition in the installer? I han only choose my FussionDrive disk

Code:
bash-3.2# diskutil list
/dev/disk0 (internal, physical):
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
   0:      GUID_partition_scheme                        *2.0 TB     disk0
   1:                        EFI EFI                     209.7 MB   disk0s1
   2:          Apple_CoreStorage FussionDrive            2.0 TB     disk0s2
   3:                 Apple_Boot Recovery HD             650.0 MB   disk0s3

/dev/disk1 (external, physical):
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
   0:      GUID_partition_scheme                        *15.5 GB    disk1
   1:                        EFI EFI                     209.7 MB   disk1s1
   2:                  Apple_HFS OSX                     15.2 GB    disk1s2

/dev/disk2 (internal, physical):
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
   0:      GUID_partition_scheme                        *128.0 GB   disk2
   1:                        EFI EFI                     209.7 MB   disk2s1
   2:          Apple_CoreStorage FussionDrive            127.7 GB   disk2s2
   3:                 Apple_Boot Boot OS X               134.2 MB   disk2s3

/dev/disk3 (internal, virtual):
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
   0:                  Apple_HFS Hackintosh HD          +2.1 TB     disk3
                                 Logical Volume on disk2s2, disk0s2
                                 B6BC7EDF-5FCE-4535-AB73-9FDA349F5386

you cannot use the installer for Fusion setups. you can only copy the EFI from the installer USB to EFI of SSD.
mount the the USB EFI partition to a mount point, mount the SSD EFI partition to a different mount point, then copy the USB EFI to the SSD EFI.
