Troubleshooting

Internal Hard-disk not detected as UEFI boot partition:

Use the Shell.efi to boot into UEFI Shell, then run the following command:

bcfg boot dump

This command will output result of your BIOS boot partitiions. If the result is empty you need to add a new Boot record.

First, run map to find your MacOS installation drive. Take note on the FS* drive letter. eg. FS4.

To add a new Boot record, run the following command:

bcfg boot add id FS*:\EFI\BOOT\BOOTx64.efi AppleUEFI

Note: id is index of your Boot record, you can use 00 if bcfg boot dump return empty
