You may or may not be aware of it, but there is a 200 megabyte partition on the root of your drive. It's the OS X EFI partition, part of OS X's default GUID partition method, which normally holds information specific to Apple hardware. For Hackintosh users, however, it has no use whatsoever. It can therefore be re-purposed to hold the bootloader, and any extra files such as DSDT, /Extra folder, org.chameleon.boot.plist, and smbios.plist.If you're one of those users who like an extremely 'vanilla' installation of OS X, you may want to rid your drive of all extra Hackintosh-related files. The following method will lead you through installing all of these files to your EFI partition.NOTE: This procedure is entirely optional, and will not give you any other benefits beyond cleaning the root of your install. Also, each time you want to make changes, you'll have to mount your EFI partition through the Terminal. If you're uncomfortable using the Terminal, do not proceed.For the purposes of this guide, I recommend unplugging all drives except your main hard drive and rebooting. This will minimize any problems with disk number and partition number. I will use disk0 by default in this guide.To make sure your disk is identified as disk0:If your drive's root is disk0, you're ready to begin.Because Chimera will not be on the drive partition anymore, you must re-install it to the EFI partition. We can use he same Chimera binary files that are installed via UniBeast on the USB drive.Drag your current /Extra file to your EFI Partition. Alternately, install basic boot options, system definition, and theme from MultiBeast. If this is a fresh installation, you'll also need to install FakeSMC to your main hard drive.You now have to set the EFI partition so that your computer boots from it first. Then delete the duplicate extra files from your system drive.The EFI partition will not automatically mount as other partitions do at boot time. If you ever need to change/update files in the EFI partition:The EFI Partition will then mount on the desktop and in Finder. If you'd rather stay out of the Terminal, you can use EFI Mounter . It's a nice little app/script you can stick in your Applications folder to mount and unmount with a click.Credit to Chameleon EFI install scripts/Munky's EFI install guides.
