Hi there. I successfully installed El Capitan using TonyMac's clover unibeast, and I just got around installing windows today. But I noticed something strange....
When I disconnected all my drives, there were still two boot options available. Both had the name "Mac OS X" on them. I was always under the impression that boot loaders lived on hard drives. But how could I be seeing boot loaders when not one disk is connected to the motherboard...
Here is what I see in BIOS, same when I press F12 to select a boot.

What's even more bizarre, is the fact that windows boot up with the apple logo, not the windows logo when my windows partition is connected.
Can someone explain this. I could just be completely wrong also..

Thanks for the suggestions! It's completely new to me that Clover can modify UEFI/BIOS like that. Something to take in consideration...
