How to Fix Opencore hotkey to boot alternate option/second default at startup?
This mini-guide provides a structural approach to troubleshoot and fix the issue.
Prerequisites
- Confirm your hardware specifications (CPU, GPU, Motherboard).
- Ensure you have a bootable recovery USB and backup your EFI.
Fix Steps
- Boot with
-v keepsyms=1 debug=0x100to identify the exact kernel panic. - Validate your config.plist using ocvalidate.
- Ensure your EFI matches the Dortania guide specifications for your CPU generation.
Verification
- Reboot and verify if the functionality is restored and stable under typical usage.
Original Question:
I have a dual-boot running Opencore 0.6.6. As it currently stands, it boots directly to windows from opencore if I don't hold down Option to launch picker, I can access and boot from my macos partition by launching the picker.
Since in this config I would only want to launch the picker to boot to MacOS, (Windows boots if I don't hold Opt) I'm trying to figure out if I can use a hotkey at startup to launch a different boot entry from my default (windows), rather than having to go to the picker menu and select it there. So if I launch without holding the button, opencore goes to Windows, if I hold down the button while starting, opencore goes to MacOS.
Is a configuration like this possible?
