I think the Piker-Alpha's efi don't boot in target mode or external usb case. The Thiamo efi work fine with 10.10.

No! There is no Tiamo version of boot.efi that supports Yosemite. Mine only!

Hi I have the same problem. Crash after a while. On MBP works fine. I dont know what to do. I will go back to Yosemite and I will wait for a new boot.efi. If you found something please inform.
Thank you.

How do I overwrite it?

sudo chflags nouchg /Volumes/(Volume name)/System/Library/CoreServices/boot.efi 

now you can overwrite it
and lock back:

sudo chflags uchg /Volumes/(Volume name)/System/Library/CoreServices/boot.efi

If the HD name is actually two words like "Volume Name" won't they need to know how to deal with the space?

Easier if you have a HD name like "VolumeName" with no space

My GTX980 works fine with both 30"....

Do you find the original Mac Pro can make use of the horse power in the GTX980? I have a Radeon 5870, and I was under the impression that even that card was already not able to really get going at full speed due to architectural limitations.

I agree, why skip the third spot... you'll be sorry. Time Machine backups aren't any good if you don't have a base install of the exact TM backup you're trying to reinstall. Or that's my experience anyway. But I agree, best investment I've made is buying a drive dedicated to nothing but TM.

If not, a CCC back-up is perfect. Probably good to make one and store the drive away somewhere--maybe take it out and update every so often.

So in other words and FWIW:
"Volume\ Name" (without quotes)

In your Terminal:

$ diskutil list
(locate the Recovery HD identifier - disk1s3 in my case)

$ diskutil mount disk1s3
(then open the com.apple.recovery.boot folder - the boot.efi is in there)

When you're done you can either unmount it via the Finder or in the terminal with:
$ diskutil unmount disk1s3

Restart your Mac with with Command-R. When you see the OS X Utilities window, go to the Utilities menu and select Terminal. Then type this without the $ of course:

$ csrutil disable; reboot

...and you're done. Your mac will restart with SIP disabled.

i only have one issue doing what you are telling me , my video card 5770 is not flash so i don't get

And that's exactly what I have done i clone my drive . Seems a lot are having issues after replacing the recovery HD efi.

dcloud45 · Oct 7, 2015

Unfortunately that's not possible for a 5770. http://forum.netkas.org/index.php?PHPSESSID=3ghflhgc40r9oquam5461mtvlcf2ln3t&topic=692.0

ok i see it won't work because am running el capitan on a mac pro 1.1 ...in other words on a hacked OS.

HAL2010 · Oct 7, 2015

No thats not the issue. The UEFI bios is not hacked for the 5770 (yet). But it works in Yosemite and El Capitan. without bootscreens though. The 7950 is hacked and had bootscreens.

dcloud45 · Oct 7, 2015

any video cards suggestion for my awesome mac pro 1.1?

HAL2010 · Oct 7, 2015

Hendrik94 · Oct 7, 2015

5870 from Asus Works without Flashing but the GTX980 from my 5.1 Works also in the 1.1

2006/2007 Mac Pro (1,1/2,1) and OS X El Capitan
