Iso-2-usb Efi-booter For Mac Software
Omit the 'Reformatting the EFI Partition' section of Heeris's guide to keep the Mac EFI partition (
/dev/sda1
).In my experience the command $ sudo bash -c 'echo $(blkid -o export -s UUID /dev/sda1) /boot/efi auto defaults 0 0 >> /etc/fstab'
contained a string DEVICE=/dev/sda1
that will bork /etc/fstab
. Check the UUID blkid -o full -s UUID
and then sudoedit /etc/fstab
and append the correct string UUID=XXXX-XXXX /boot/efi auto defaults 0 0
and the Ctrl+X to save and exit. Then mount the EFI partition before continuing, sudo mount /boot/efi
