Title: RE: Imac 2006 Booted LinuxLiteOS
Post by: Jesse R Bassett on April 28, 2021, 07:10:16 PM

Hello all,
I have an issue....so my iMac 2006 works fine with LinuxLiteOS. Problem is whenever I boot it up I need to press ALT to get to the EFI boot option. Is there an easier workaround this problem? I would like to just bootup the Imac and load LinuxLiteOS.

If you don't press it, do you have a "?" of something else?

@Jesse R Bassett

Not much of MAC guy... But with Windows BIOS/UEFI - you can select the boot order.. Is there something in MAC side?

I did find this... https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/change-your-mac-startup-disk-mchlp1034/10.14/mac/10.14
10.14 but has options for others....

I figured it out. Basically I needed to install a program called REFIND and add it to my Mac for it to boot right up. I will mark this as solved.
