Hello every one
I copied FakeSMC.kext into EFI/Clover/kexts/Others in order to be able to boot into recovery mode on a Sierra rig.
Note:
- Asus Z97-a
- i7-4790k
- GTX 980
- Samsung 850 Evo (sATA AHCI SSD)
Then I added an M.2 NVMe drive (Corsair MP500) and followed this guide in order to have it visible in OSX 10.12.6:
https://nickwoodhams.com/getting-your-nvme-ssd-working-on-macos-sierra-10-12-2/
(I obviously adapted the commands for 10.12.6)
Now I would like to clone my boot drive (850 Evo) onto the NVMe drive (MP500) in order to finally boot on the MP500 and remove the 850 Evo. However, disk utility in recovery mode cannot see the MP500 since this mode does not load the kexts required to support NVMe drives. Can anyone tell me what kexts I need and were to place them in order for disk utility to be able to see the MP500 also in recovery mode?
Thank you very much in advance for your help.

PS: I know I could use a third party app to clone my boot drive onto the MP500 but I am familiar with disk utility and I would thus prefer to use it if this is possible.
Best,
