Cannot boot from USB after updating OC root patches (errantly)

[earnric]

You meant the boot menu for the BIOS...

I tried that too: 2 different USB drives made with OCLP with an EFI partition for the Sequoia installer... When I select them from the Bios boot menu nothing happens.

Ok... let me make a video.

I'm really rusty at this. I created the orig config like 3+ years ago and haven't looked at it since.

Not a problem!

I was watching a youtube video on patching the ethernet on sequoia... That got me screwed up (following two sets of instructions: the guide and a video...)

[edited... I'm using the BIOS boot loader now -- or trying too... ]

Gosh

SO without accessing the USB, I don't know how I'm going to use the updated plist, efi stuff... I can't get anything to/from the MacPro.

Lots of dead time in the video. I'm not sure this is what you wanted, but no key presses have any effect other than del to get into the Bios.

That was wrong. You were supposed to enter Boot Menu using F12 button. Also, make sure your EFI has -v flag in boot args.

Ok you wanted me to try an boot the USB from the BIOS menu, not the OCLP menu. I missed that.

OCLP EFI was not supposed to install on a hack. That's the first mistake. OCLP is intended for real Macs. However, we can use a curated EFI for hacks and use OCLP's root patching feature to get the features working back on the new OS. That's the basic principle.

I'm going to rebuild my USB OCLP Install USB stick right now and try again...

Again the same mistake!

It won't work as explained in the above post.

Ok... I was stupidly using OCLP (like on my macbook), when I should be using OCC or Clover (or even hackintool?)

Please walk me though this once again. Can you point me at the guide to build the USB boot stick?

Note, for some reason I cannot get Clover Config or OCAuxTools to open on my macbook (running OCLP-Sequoia). Even via control panel "Open Anyway". So I don't know how I'm gonna build a OC USB.

What is the easiest way forward? Curate by backup EFI and get it onto the hack? Or just build a new installer and configure from there?

Thx again.
