    Lecan - 2019-02-25

    osx is 10.14.3, install refind on esp, use bless set refind to deafult:
    sudo bless --mount /Volumes/EFI --setBoot --file /Volumes/EFI/EFI/refind/refind_x64.efi
    but after reboot, don't show refind and boot into recovery mode.
    BOOTLOG:
    SlingShot: Starting Local and Network Diags/Recovery Session at 02/25/2019 13:28.
    SlingShotL8LocalBootSetup: Didnt find a recovery partition for startup disk, startup disk may not be set, (Not Found)
    LoadChunkListFile: Found ChunkListFile of size 1984 bytes and loaded it into a buffer
    UnverifiedDmgBoot: Found matching DevicePath at Index 6
    Disassociating from wifi network.
    Booting RecoveryOS.

    anyone help?

    The bless command looks correct IF the refind_x64.efi file is present in the ESP's EFI/refind directory.

    I don't recognize the error messages you've reported; they aren't from rEFInd. I seem to recall somebody else reporting something similar, though. They may be from the Mac's EFI or some boot program or OS other than rEFInd.

    My suggestion is to try another installation method -- either refind-install or an installation from another OS. (You can use a Linux installation or emergency disk, for instance, provided you boot it in EFI mode.)
