Install Mac OS X Yosemite using Clover
Clover is a new and exciting open source EFI bootloader. Developed over the past 3 years by a group of developers at Project OS X led by Slice, Clover aims to solve problems inherent in existing OS X installation methods and legacy bootloaders: Boots troublesome desktop and laptop BIOS/UEFI Uses native OS X installation media Ability to patch DSDT/kernel/kexts at boot time Creates OS X Recovery partition No boot0 error with 4K Advanced Format drives Solves multi-boot issues with Linux and Windows 7/8 Solves traditional bootloader NVRAM issues related to iMessage/FaceTime Clover has a completely different system of configuration with a decidedly steep learning curve. It can be confusing for those who have only ever used the more traditional Chameleon or Chimera.
