[Solved] Making a new drive bootable

[ashman70]

This may seem like a silly question but here goes:

If I am adding a new drive to my system that I want to be the new OSX bootable system drive, do I need to install Clover on to it, or just clone it, copy over the contents of the EFI partition and select it from the bootable options in the clover boot loader during boot?

The location of Clover doesn't matter. If you are removing the old drive: mount both EFI partitions and copy the bootloader files to the new EFI partition e.g. with Finder. Edit the UEFI boot order to load Clover from wherever you decide to keep it.
