Post-Installation

At this time Our HDD is not bootable so we need to install Boot Loader so we can boot our Mac Yosemite without using USB media which we created for installing Yosemite

Again Open Clover Boot Loader and do the install it like i did

In my case i did not choose Install For UEFI Booting because i have Legacy Bios but if you have UEFI platform then kindly select UEFI else your system will become bootable

Tricky Part

Once you Successfully install Clover then Mount your EFI partition and do several settings like i did

1.Navigate to /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/ and edit config.plist

2.Navigate to /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/kexts/ and create a folder called 10.10

3.Navigate to /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/kexts/10.10/ and add FakeSMC.kext+Voodoops2Controller.kext

4.Navigate to /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/kexts/10.10/ and add your ethernet kext

5.(Optional if you both SSDT and DSDT) Navigate to /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched/ and add DSDT.aml and SSDT.aml
