Copy "CLOVERX64.efi" to EFI/BOOT/ and rename to BOOTX64.efi

FYI... Deleting a file is not needed if you're going to copy over it:
Code:
diskutil mount EFI
# assumption: EFI is now mounted at /Volumes/EFI
# assumption: current directory is where CLOVERX64.efi is located
cp CLOVERX64.efi /Volumes/EFI/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.efi
cp CLOVERX64.efi /Volumes/EFI/EFI/Clover/CLOVERX64.efi

But how can you copy over it if it has a different file name?

I was supposed to change the file name to BOOTX64.efi wasn't I? For the BOOT folder? I mean, it is the same file with a different name?

'cp' overwrites the existing file.

The file BOOTX64.efi was already there. It has the same bits as CLOVERX64.efi.

I mean, it is the same file with a different name?

Yes.
 
Oh I getcha - you mean open the files on EFI, delete and paste in the new code from your attached file (at least I think that's what you mean)

Same result huh?

No. Read post #12.
 
Is 'cp' a terminal command?

A means to copy over a file and change it's name to the same as what was already there?
 
Is 'cp' a terminal command?

Yes, of course.

It copies one file to another.
You can find documentation for cp with 'man cp'.

Well I'll be a tinkers cuss - you see that's where it all went wrong for me ;-)

Of course, no requirement to use Terminal.
You can arrive at the same result copying/renaming (as needed) with Finder.
