clover

This is EFI-basedBoot Loader for BIOS-based computers created as a replacement to EDK2/Duet Boot Loader  tianocore
To compile it needs  to place Clover sources into edk2/ folder.

  • F1 – multilingual help, depending on language in config
  • saving preboot.log from GUI by typing F2 and system.log for debug
  • save original (OEM) ACPI tables by pressing F4
  • test DSDT patching with F5
  • save videoBIOS into EFI/misc by pressing F6
  • saving screenshots from GUI typing F10
  • CD/DVD eject by F12 and refresh menu after CD insertion
  • change GUI resolution by PgUp/PgDown
  • save BOOT0000 option to NVRAM (like bcfg in Shell)
