The Clover\/MacOS instance was on its own disk, and this meant that (hopefully) this would not interfere with Grub\/Linux.\u00a0\u00a0 I tested that install by booting to the POST\/BIOS UEFI boot menu (typically F9<\/em>) and selecting the Clover\/MacOS disk.<\/p>\n I found some existing dual-boot examples, but these seemed to be quite out-of-date, and so used my existing GRUB2 Win7 chainloader as a starting point.<\/p>\n The simplest solution I found is to use grub-customizer<\/strong> to create and edit the necessary entry, and this takes care of formatting and inclusion in grub.cfg etc..<\/p>\n In the main grub-customizer window, select Edit\/New<\/em>, and then select Type Chainloader<\/em> and give it a suitable name (I used ‘Boot Clover’) and then ignore the ‘error’ message, and then under Partition<\/em> select the efi partition where Clover resides. This should present as ‘EFI\/vfat<\/strong>‘.<\/p>\n In my example, the efi partition is on the fifth physical disk, partition 1..<\/p>\n You should then see, under Boot sequence:<\/p>\n Edit this to remove the line starting with drivemap<\/span><\/strong>, and edit the chainloader +1<\/span><\/strong> line to Then hit OK<\/em>, and the new entry should show up as ‘menuentry \/ script:custom<\/em>‘ Robert Gadsdon.\u00a0 June 1, 2019.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I had previously set up several dual-boot Fedora Linux\/Win7 systems, but now had the challenge of doing the same for MacOS as well..
