Line 258:
I partitioned my usbdisk with MacOSX diskutil, but any partition tool should/would do. I created a small 100mb partition as first partition and created a huge secondary partition for files. I formated the partition to HFS+, but i guess FAT should be more compatible since i dont think other EFI firmwares have HFS+ filesystem support like the Mac..
 
Anyway i created "/efi/grubboot/" folder and copied grubbootx64.efi to /efi/grubboot/grubbootx64.efi on my disk. I then created a grub.cfg file alongside with it.
 
To make OSX find the Grubbootx64.efi image on boot i did;
 
"sudo bless --verbose --folder=/Volumes/EFI --file=/Volumes/EFI/efi/grubboot/grubbootx64.efi --setBoot"
 
where /Volumes/EFI is the first partition on my usb disk..
Line 269:
 
Configuration of grub and config file is like any other grub2 syntax.
 
The "blessing" procedure should not be needed on UEFI compatible EFI versions. These will always look for /efi/boot/bootx64.efi.
