# About Boot

Attention: if you can have a mac in any way you should install MacOS on your PC through Unibeast

The way I'll introduce worked successfully in any old MBR PC

boot workflow

MBR simulate UEFI ( EFI in Disk ) > enter UEFI Boot > enter Clover Boot ( ESP in MacOS ) > MacOS

MBR simulate UEFI achievement
  1. Part 500 MB FAT32 disk0 as EFI Partition from boot disk
  2. Active the EFI Partition to allow MBR Boot
  3. Use BOOTICE to simulate UEFI
    1. MBR Repair disk0:usr/standalone/i386/boot0af to your boot disk
    2. PBR Repair disk0:usr/standalone/i386/boot1f32alt to EFI Partition
  4. Until now your MBR PC is able to simulate UEFI

# Install macOS
Known
  • The macOS version is decided by your PC parts, mostly decided by Graphics
  • U Disk is more realiable than writing to disk directly

Install important points
  • Xeon CPU ( Particularly 771 socket trans to 775 socket ) need to add boot args: npci=0x3000
  • Nvdia GT 210/GT 310 ( 512 MB / 1024 MB ) is able to be drived by macOS natively and it's the cheapest Graphics
  • If macOS Catalina are wished to be installed, the Kepler Nvdia Graphics is a good choice
    • Recommanded Graphics Dell Nvdia GeForce 640 1024 MB with DP/HDMI/DVI
  • G41 series motherboard or inetl 775 CPU only support 1333 DDR3 4G double-sided Memory and maximum 8G Memory
  • Motherboard from Gigabyte/AUSU/MSI match the macOS better ( Gigabyte the best )
