No BOOT folder? #4

Closed GuiFlam closed 8 months ago

Hi.

I'm wondering why there's no BOOT folder in your EFI file? Thanks

I just add the manual entry to the OpenCore.efi file from the BIOS, that's why. If you want to auto boot just generate the respective BootX64.efi file and put it in the BOOT folder.

I'm not sure I understand. What do you do in BIOS exactly?

GuiFlam commented 8 months ago

and also why isn't there a com.apple.recovery.boot folder? Thanks a lot for your time I'm just trying to understand

jkbuha commented 8 months ago

BIOS -> Boot Configuration -> Add Entry -> EFI\OC\OpenCore.efi

regarding the folder structure, it's probably worth taking a look here to better understand how this works (and how you can adjust your own EFI partition): https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/installer-guide/opencore-efi.html
