UEFI Shell usage

[poupipou]

Boot from installation/recovery media e.g. USB. There should be some form of one-time boot menu in the settings.

I tried but each time I start the computer I go in clover. So then I format my drive and install macOS with my bootable USB but when it restart I have the same problem.

Hi, i am a new-be hackintosher - please bear with me as i am learning

Post installation problem :

My PS2 mouse and keyboard don't work , so i am stuck at OSX High Sierra login screen, cant type password in ( but they DO work in Clover bootloader)

So i figured out that i need to add a VodooPS2Controller.kext to EFI folder on my OSX hidden EFI partition.
And copy required kexts onto a specifically preformated USB stick --->copy them to EFI in Clover shell with some "secret" shell commands ?

How do i list , view , add ( or remove) any kext to EFI folder from Clover shell ?

thanks in advance for any tips or ideas

cheers

Just use a USB keyboard and mouse while you install.

You don't know someone that you can borrow from for an hour while you run MultiBeast and install the PS/2 drivers ?

You could put the PS/2 drivers on your USB installer and boot from that.

i do have them manually installed on my 10.13.6 USB installation stick and PS2 has been working during OSX install.
If i boot from USB , how do i install those drivers into EFI of my OSX install without reinstalling High Sierra again, from Utilities Terminal , command line or?
i am confused..

You boot from your USB and at the menu select your hard drive and boot.
When you reach the desktop you can run MultiBeast and install the drivers.
Or you can mount the EFI partitions of your USB and your hard drive and copy the drivers from the USB to the hard drive.
