It should be noted that this MacBook currently is running Mountain Lion using the old MLPostFactor kit. However, when I try to boot to that drive which is selectable in the Startup Manager, it fails with no visible error message and instead boots to the internal hard drive on my system. It appears that everything was moved to the drive correctly, with no errors.

Selected an external drive I was willing to erase to create my bootable installer on as the SFOTT target, and selected the current computer as the system to install to (MacBook4,1 & Mac-F22788A9).Ĭreated the new installer disk (aka "key") using Autorun. Enabled the Yosemite installer, and selected the above app. Got the general release of Yosemite, renamed it "Install Yosemite Beta.app", and ran SFOTT. I want to do a completely clean install of Yosemite on my black MacBook 4,1. Make sure you set your machine/board-id in step 6-7. The installer says 'OS X Cannot be Installed on this Machine': Your install should continue as expected.ġ. If you are using a Mac with built-in graphics or your graphics card supports EFI boot, just reboot and hold down option after the chime.ġ3. Select the SFOTT key and reboot from the panel.ġ2b. If you have a graphics card that doesn't support EFI boot, open System Preferences on the target Mac, plug in the SFOTT USB key, and open the 'Startup Disk' preference pane. Select 'Create a New key in Autorun' (2).

Go back to the main menu and select 'Create / Patch SFOTT Key' (4).ġ1. Select 'Select OS X Installer' (5) and select 'In the default /Applications Folder location (Faster)' (1) It should work if you renamed your installer specified above.ġ0.
Use option 'Choose current computer' (1) and then select 'Select OS X System Version' (4).ĩ. Return to the main menu (5) and then go to settings (3) then select option 'Select the computer to use' (3).ħ. Select 'Choose USB/media for the sfott key' (2) and select the SFOTT usb key you made earlier.Ħ. Select Yosemite Public Beta (2), since the official option is a placeholder, lol.Ĥ.Go back to the main menu (1) and go to settings (3).ĥ.
Go to the Extras menu (7) and then the Yosemite menu (9).ģ. Open SFOTTBeta and follow the instructions until you get to a numbered Terminal menu.Ģ. If it does, you can still use 12a, but you can also use 12b.ġ. Note: 12a only needs to be done if your Mac Pro's graphic card doesn't have EFI boot. Plug the USB drive into your Mac and format it as 'Mac OS Extended' and name it SFOTT. Hopefully that will not need to happen in newer versions of the script.Ĥ.
Rename 'Install OS X Yosemite.app' to 'Install OS X Yosemite Beta.app'.

Download Yosemite either from a suspicious location or from the Mac App Store (try using Mavericks Download Enabler if on unsupported Mac).ģ. Download and install SFOTT from the link/mirror above.Ģ. * An unsupported Mac, your choice if you deem it capable or not.ġ. This works on the public release with some 'shoe-horn'ing. NOTICE: I am not responsible for erasing or breaking your Mac! Continue at your own risk! The one that I am using as a stop-gap actually works fine for Yosemite, it is currently $35 (USD) on Newegg, if you want it, here is the link. Before you begin, if you have a Mac Pro, get a better graphics card, your default one will suck, thanks to Yosemite. I wanted to make a quick guide for those who are stumbling through getting Yosemite on your unsupported Macs, namely Mac Pros and Mac Minis which are perfectly capable with some upgrades.
