Having rEFIt on a separate partition also allows you to encrypt the startup volume (useful for people running Mac OS X Lion with File Vault 2). As usual, you can boot rEFIt normally without using the Startup Manager as long as it is properly blessed before startup. This way, you can use the Mac's built in Startup Manager () to force boot rEFIt or bypass rEFIt. You could try using Disk Utility to create a small partition for rEFIt's efi folder, then edit MOUNTPOINT in rEFItBlesser to point to that partition (see above for an example). You can check what disk/folder/file is blessed (used for efi startup) using the bless command:ĭuring startup, rEFItBlesser should bless your OS X file (/System/Library/CoreServices/boot.efi) automatically so that OS X is used for waking up from safe sleep or from power failure.ĭuring shutdown, rEFItBlesser should automatically bless rEFIt (/efi/refit/refit.efi) so that rEFIt will be used when you startup. Sudo bless -folder /efi/refit -file /efi/refit/refit.efi -labelfile /efi/refit/refit.vollabel -setBoot The enable-always script runs the bless command like this: Try running /efi/refit/enable-always.sh in Terminal.app (make sure you run the script from the folder that contains the refit folder which contains the refit.efi file):
For example, if the efi folder was on a seperate partition named rEFIt, then MOUNTPOINT="/Volumes/rEFIt". Otherwise MOUNTPOINT should be the path to the efi folder. If the efi folder is on your boot volume then MOUNTPOINT="" (the default). rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 2176 Jan 27 17:30 rEFItBlesserĬheck the rEFItBlesser file. Make sure the rEFItBlesser is installed and has the correct permissions: Make sure you have all the files in the correct location: Make sure rEFIt is on an HFS volume (Mac OS Extended).
