1. ownload mojave installer -> app store
2. formatting usb: diskutil partitionDisk /dev/disk1 2 MBR FAT32 "CLOVER EFI" 200Mi HFS+J "install_osx" R

install https://bitbucket.org/RehabMan/clover/downloads/Clover_v2.4k_r4701.RM-4963.ca6cca7c.zip to CLOVER Partition

For Clover UEFI, run the Clover Installer package:

• if using MBR, select the target of the install to "CLOVER EFI" using "Change Install Location"
• select "Customize" (the default is a legacy install -- we need to change it)
• check "Install for UEFI booting only", "Install Clover in the ESP" will automatically select
• check "BGM" from Themes (the config.plist files I provide use this theme)
• the defaults for Drivers64UEFI + add EmuVariableUefi !!!
• most systems will work without DataHubDxe-64.efi, but some may require it

copy IntelMausiEthernet.kext to Clover/kexts/Other (https://bitbucket.org/RehabMan/os-x-intel-network/downloads/RehabMan-IntelMausiEthernet-v2-2018-0424.zip)

download disk driver:

• it can be downloaded from here: https://github.com/JrCs/CloverGrowerPro/raw/master/Files/HFSPlus/X64/HFSPlus.efi.
• copy it to /EFI/Clover/drivers64UEFI

install config file for nuc8

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RehabMan/Intel-NUC-DSDT-Patch/master/config_install_nuc8_bc.plist

replace config file:

➜  CLOVER rm config.plist
➜  CLOVER mv config_install_nuc8_bc.plist config.plist

4. install installer sudo "/Applications/Install macOS Mojave.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia" --volume /Volumes/install_osx --nointeraction

rename sudo diskutil rename "Install macOS Mojave" install_osx

5. Tweak Bios Settings (F2) To start, choose "Load Defaults" (choose from the menu or press F9 in the BIOS setup).

Then change:

• Boot->Boot Configuration, disable "Network Boot"
• Power->Secondary Power Settings, "Wake on LAN from S4/S5", set to "Stay Off"

These settings are important but are already set as needed by "Load Defaults"

• Devices->Video, "IGD Minimum Memory" set to 64mb or 128mb
• Devices->Video, "IGD Aperture Size" set to 256mb
• Boot->Secure Boot, "Secure Boot" is disabled
• Security->Security Features, "Execute Disable Bit" is enabled.

Suggested:

• Boot->Boot Priority->Legacy Boot Priority, enable "Legacy Boot"

6. NUC -> Boot Stick -> CLOVER -> Select Install (space for verbose) -> https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-booting-the-os-x-installer-on-laptops-with-clover.148093/#post-917904

Some notes on the NUC8i7BEH

Preliminary support for the CoffeeLake NUC8 "Bean Canyon" has been added to the github project.

I may eventually create a separate thread for the NUC8, but for now here are the notable differences:

• add EmuVariableUefi-64.efi to drivers64UEFI
  (you will experience lockups on restart, shutdown, sleep, and SysPrefs->Startup Disk without it)
• use the nuc8 variant plists (config_install_nuc8_bc.plist, config_nuc8_bc.plist)
• use the nuc8 make install script ('make install_nuc8bc')
• in BIOS settings you must enable legacy boot (continue to boot UEFI, but enable legacy for CSM)
  (you will have KP/reboot without it)
