<h2>Configuring Booting Without OpenCore Mounted</h2>

<ol>
	<li>Log into the MacOS12 VM</li>
	<li>Launch a web browser and download the KVM OpenCore EFI folder <a href="https://github.com/thenickdude/KVM-Opencore/releases" target="_blank">Download</a></li>
	<li>Start LaunchPad from the dock</li>
	<li>Search terminal &gt; Click Terminal to launch it</li>
	<li>Run the following commands in the terminal window
	<div class="codeBlock CMD">git clone https://github.com/corpnewt/MountEFI<br />
	cd MountEFI<br />
	chmod +x MountEFI.command<br />
	./MountEFI.command</div>
	</li>
	<li>Enter the number that corresponds to the OS12 drive created during the installation &gt; Press Enter</li>
	<li>Open a Finder window</li>
	<li>Navigate to the mounted EFI location</li>
	<li>If an existing EFI folder exists, rename the it to EFI.orig</li>
	<li>Copy the KVM OpenCoreEFI folder downloaded earlier to the mounted EFI partition</li>
	<li>Once the EFI folder is copied, shutdown the VM</li>
	<li>Click the MacOS12 VM &gt; Select Hardware from the left sub-navigation menu</li>
	<li>Click the OpenCore Hard Disk to select it &gt; Click Detach</li>
	<li>Click the detached OpenCore Hard Disk to select it again &gt; Click Remove</li>
	<li>Right click the MacOS12 VM in the left navigation pane &gt; Start</li>
