::: details Note for Mac Pros/Xserves/iMacs with unflashed GPUs
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
(Adapted from the [OpenCore on the Mac Pro guide](https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/opencore-on-the-mac-pro.2207814/))
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For Mac Pro, Xserve and, iMac users with non-flashed GPUs, you can still easily boot OpenCore and view the entire boot process.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Firstly, open the Terminal and run the following command:
|
||||||
|
```sh
|
||||||
|
sudo nvram "recovery-boot-mode=unused" && sudo reboot recovery
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
This will make your machine reboot into the Recovery Environment. Alternatively, holding Command + R when your machine is starting up will also let you enter the Recovery.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Secondly, open the Recovery Environment's Terminal (Menu bar > Utilities > Terminal).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Now you'll want to get a list of drive identifiers. To do so, run the following command:
|
||||||
|
```sh
|
||||||
|
diskutil list
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
The command should produce a list of drives installed in your system:
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Keep track of the drive with the OCLP install. You will need the drive identifer for later.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Now you'll want to mount the EFI partition (where OCLP is installed, though may differ if you've installed OCLP to a FAT-32 volume).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Run the following command (Replace X with the drive number):
|
||||||
|
```sh
|
||||||
|
diskutil mount diskXs1
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
If everything is correct, the EFI partion should be mounted.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Now you'll want to use the bless command to set the default boot device:
|
||||||
|
```sh
|
||||||
|
bless --mount /Volumes/EFI --setBoot --file /Volumes/EFI/System/Library/CoreServices/boot.efi
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
Once the command is run, it should produce no output.
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If the command produces an output, ensure that you've typed it in correctly.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Now you can reboot your machine. OCLP is now the default boot option!
