![]() Prepare the USB stick with a GUID Partition table and a single, “Mac OS Extended (Journaled)” (HFS+)-formatted partition.The installation was done using a USB thumb stick, a second Mac (to prepare the USB stick), and the target machine, and went as follows: For me, that meant ensuring that FakeSMC.kext, AHCI_3rdParty_SATA.kext, and the modified IONetworkingFamily.kext packaged with Multibeast were placed in EFI/Clover/kexts/10.9 on the EFI partition of my USB stick. The key piece of information I first missed was that, when making a bootable USB OS X installer using Clover, you need to augment EFI/Clover/kexts with whatever kexts you would typically install via Multibeast to get OS X to boot and have network access.

While that method of installation is simple and works well, I elected to start over with Clover so I could boot Linux Mint, OS X, and Windows 8 all via the same EFI bootloader. I went for this configuration after having previously installed OS X with the Chimera bootloader using the Unibeast/Multibeast method.
