Thanks Miles Not working Debug Menu On El Capo you need to Mount EFI manually with terminal or Clover prefpane If your HD is disk0 you can using the app attaching bellow 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesTEG1 Posted September 17, 2015 Author Share Posted September 17, 2015 Ok Thanks Chris ! Sadly, my EFI isn't always on the disk0.Could it be possible to create a script allowing in the right clic on a Volume to mount the EFI partition associated ? Example : SSD-OSX is disk1s2, with EFI on disk1s1 And when my usb stick is connected, USB is disk6s2, with EFI on disk6s1 A right clic on SSD-OSX show a menu with various entries.Is it possible to add an entries there like "Mount associated EFI" to mount the EFI ? It should check if an EFI is already mounted (like /Volumes/EFI)... and mount it anyway but in this location /Volumes/EFI1/, like DiskUtility in Yosemite did.

gynekolog Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 @MilesTEG1 I use Clover PrefPane for automount EFI of a booted system: And when I need mount other EFI, I use Clover Configurator: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesTEG1 Posted September 17, 2015 Author Share Posted September 17, 2015 Hello, Thanks for the answer.I use CloverConfigurator too. But when an EFI is already mounted, you get an error when you want a second EFI to be mounter at the same time. (I don't want the EFI to be mounted automatically at boot ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigpoppa206 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Anyone find a solution for this in Disk Utility yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T a D Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I just use the terminal for it, show the partitions diskutil list and then diskutil mount /dev/disk0s1 To mount the partition. You don't need to use sudo and it will handle multiple EFI partitions and given them all an entry in /Volumes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RehabMan Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 mountEFI.command.zip A little script that does the following. If an EFI partition is in /Volumes it will eject it, then mounts EFI partition of Booted disk. Sometimes the Booted disk is not disk0 in a multi HDD setup. Note also that EFI is not always the first partition. To find EFI, you have to look it up by its well-known partition GUID. See here for a more accurate script: https://github.com/RehabMan/Lenovo-U430-Touch-DSDT-Patch/blob/master/mount_efi.sh Note: It still doesn't cover the case you're booting UEFI to a disk different from your system volume (eg. BIOS boots UEFI to disk0, but Clover then loads a OS X system off disk1). Determining the actual booted EFI would probably require parsing the Clover bootlog.

bigpoppa206 Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Here is a method top patch the old disk utility to run on El Capitan. Maybe we can get the debug menu working on it instead. https://justus.berlin/2015/10/restore-old-disk-utility-in-os-x-el-capitan/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The patched DU from Yosemite 10.10.5 works well in El Capitan: the debug menu can still be enabled with the terminal command defaults write com.apple.DiskUtility DUDebugMenuEnabled 1 The hidden partitions are shown after selecting "Show every partition" and the EFI partition can be mounted/unmounted by right clicking... Note: Verify/Repair Permissions are greyed out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimosgmx Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Not working Debug Menu On El Capo you need to Mount EFI manually with terminal or Clover prefpane If your HD is disk0 you can using the app attaching bellow If you look inside the Contents/SharedSupport of this download injectDiskUtility.zip you will find a Disk Utility.app that shows debug menu to mount EFI partitions that works on El Capitan. It also works on MacOS Sierra use this if you like (experimental) Disk Utility v13 for macOS Sierra.zip Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, but is there a version for High Sierra, too, because this one does not work in 10.13.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
