Hi all.
I have a macmini 2012 with MBR partition scheme, with 2x Win 7, 2xYosemite, and Linux installations.
I have refind 0.8.3 installed and all works fine.
I want to install a newer version of refind but i cant (No have EFI) partiton.
With 0.8.3 no problem... its a bug?
Regards
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Using MBR for an OS X installation on a Mac is very very non-standard. If you're correct that you've got an MBR, it clearly does work, but it's something that's very strange and is not likely to get much support.
That said, the change in rEFInd from 0.8.3 to 0.8.4 that's most likely to be affected by use of MBR is the default behavior of rEFInd's install.sh under OS X -- specifically, what had been the --esp option in 0.8.3 is now the default behavior. To get it to install to the OS X root (/) partition, as had been the default, you must now use the new --notesp option. I recommend you try that. This change is covered in the documentation, and in particular on the Installing rEFInd page.
