The Problem was, there are two config.plists when i follow the guide in the link below. One that is saved by clover when i finished inserting the settings, and the one i found in the Clover directory mentioned before. So i don't know which one to overwrite. The one in the Clover directory could be the one generated from Multibeast after the clean install since it is bigger than the config.plist generated by clover (i saved on the desktop). Man i'm very confused right now and don't know that to do.
Yeah, that could be a problem.
I am going to list how to do somethings using the Terminal app (in your Applications/Utilities folder) to mount the partition. If you have never done things like this it can seem intimidating but It Will Not Be As Difficult As It Might Seem.
Open the Terminal app. You will get a prompt that look like username$
Type in the the following line, followed by pressing the return key: diskutil list
It will give you back a bunch of lines that look like the following example:
/dev/disk0 (internal, physical):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *120.0 GB disk0
1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk0s1
2: Apple_HFS Sierra 2 119.2 GB disk0s2
3: Apple_Boot Recovery HD 650.0 MB disk0s3
/dev/disk1 (internal, physical):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *250.1 GB disk1
1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk1s1
2: Apple_HFS Sierra 249.2 GB disk1s2
3: Apple_Boot Recovery HD 650.0 MB disk1s3
I am using in this example two connected startup drives name Sierra and Sierra 2 (lame example I know, but hang in there).
Below this the prompt will be back.
Type in the the following line, followed by pressing the return key: sudo mkdir /Volumes/EFI
it will give you back
Password:
Type in your password and press the return key. Note (1) you will not see your password as you are typing it. If you mess up you get another chance. Note(2) if this is your first time doing this you will get a message about respecting the power you are unleashing on your machine. It is a one time message. Note (3) If you really panic about blindly entering your password, type the control-c combination to escape; -- hold down the control key and press the c key.
From the listing above, you have the necessary information to be able to mount your EFI partition as a disk in macOS. Suppose your startup disk is Sierra 2 and you want to mount the EFI partition.
Type in the following line followed by pressing the return key: sudo mount -t msdos /dev/disk0s1 /Volumes/EFI
(the 0 in disk0s1 is a zero, not an O.)
If you wanted the EFI partition on the second drive it would be sudo mount -t msdos /dev/disk1s1 /Volumes/EFI
So to summarize, you are (1) deciding what partition you want to mount as a disk (The EFI partition is created by macOS when you format the disk as a GPT type disk, MultiBeast formatted the EFI partition to use the msdos format -- Clover needs it to be that way-- and then Clover uses the EFI partition to store its files), (2)creating a place to attach it and then (3)mounting the disk. It is ready for you to use the finder to open and treat it as you would a normal disk. You can navigate it, put stuff in it and remove stuff. And you can eject it.
Be careful from here on out. Try doing this for a while so that you can be used to it before proceeding.
This line is now a
dire warning that you need to know about before going further --- you need to compare the file on your desktop to the one you will find stored in the Clover folder before overwriting it. Configurator does not always do things the way you want it to and blindly overwriting the Clover folder's file has consequences.
Or you can find an app called EFI Mounter (or one similar) and use it to mount the EFI partition and go from there. Same dire warning applies though.
