bless.diff version 2. success. cleared all bless on hfsplus partition in OSX.
grub> hfspbless (hd0,3)/efi/test/grub523.efi Back to OSX - Last login: Sun Apr 19 22:48:43 on console im81:~ pxw$ bless --info /Volumes/hfsp finderinfo[0]: 75 => Blessed System Folder is <missing> finderinfo[1]: 7857 => Blessed System File is /Volumes/hfsp/efi/test/grub523.efi finderinfo[2]: 0 => Open-folder linked list empty finderinfo[3]: 0 => No OS 9 + X blessed 9 folder finderinfo[4]: 0 => Unused field unset finderinfo[5]: 0 => No OS 9 + X blessed X folder 64-bit VSDB volume id: 0x0F87F7680B9C5211 It boots - Restart with option key gives the Apple EFI disk icon, which boots grub523.efi Confirmed with shutdown-restart again. Redundant info - I checked the OSX bless utility, it requires both folder and file, or it will not agree to bless the file. im81:~ pxw$ sudo bless --folder /Volumes/hfsp/efi/test --file /Volumes/hfsp/efi/test/grub523.efi im81:~ pxw$ bless --info /Volumes/hfsp finderinfo[0]: 7882 => Blessed System Folder is /Volumes/hfsp/efi/test finderinfo[1]: 7885 => Blessed System File is /Volumes/hfsp/efi/test/grub523.efi Now all we need is --setBoot to make grub.efi the default boot, no Option key required. Oh, and how do we get grub.efi booted to bless itself - the only way I know at present is to use a rEFIt CD, which is bootable by Apple EFI.
