[Help] Clover automatically boot into Windows without ENTER key

[Barry_dhb52]

System brief:
1. Win8.1/Ubuntu14.04/Mavericks 10.9.1, all installed on PLEXTOR SSD, using GPT UEFI mode.
2. Clover r2671.

 

How can I boot into Win8.1 defaultly with timeout using clover.
1. NTFS.efi in /Volume/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/drivers64UEFI
2. Default Loader = bootmgfw.efi or \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi

3. Gui: Scan: false; only customer entries
Default Boot Volume = EFI

By studing this post, I still can't get this work.

@dhb52,

 

Your Clover boot log shows the following problem (maybe because there is more than one loader in the EFI - bootmgfw.efi as well as grubx64.efi - and the default loader is not specified?  Maybe EFI is hidden?)

1:578  0:000  Searching for DefaultVolume 'EFI' ...
1:578  0:000  Default boot entry not found

but it is happy using the GUID of the Windows Partition

1:532  0:000  Custom entry 0 "\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi" "-s -h" (7) 0x0 matching all volumes ...
1:532  0:000     Checking volume " -> Success" (PciRoot(0x0)\Pci(0x1F,0x2)\Sata(0x0,0xFFFF,0x0)\HD(1,GPT,70C62173-1CA1-464C-9763-750BC57FEE3D,0x28,0x64000)) ... match!

so I would recommend using this in your config.plist....

<key>Boot</key>
	<dict>
		<key>DefaultVolume</key>
		<string>70C62173-1CA1-464C-9763-750BC57FEE3D</string>
		<key>Log</key>
		<false/>
		<key>IgnoreNVRAMBoot</key>
		<true/>
		<key>Timeout</key>
		<integer>3</integer>
		<key>XMPDetection</key>
		<string>Yes</string>
		<key>Secure</key>
		<false/>
	</dict>

Attached is the modified config.plist

Using GUID as DefaultVolume solves the problem.

 

Thanks very much.
