Terms

  • Bootloader: A piece of software that loads the operating system.

  • Clover: This is the bootloader that we will be using. We need this for a few important things. Most importantly:

    • macOS installs on a partition formatted in either APFS or HFS+. A standard (UEFI) BIOS cannot read from these formats.

    • It injects kexts on boot.
