How to Bless Your Drive

STEP ONE:

Go to Disk Utility (Finder -> Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility) and get the name of your drive. If your drive is not named Fledging_Feather, make sure to read the NOTICE at the end of this documentation. If your drive is named Fledging_Feather, please proceed to the next step.

 

STEP TWO: 

Open Terminal (Finder -> Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal) and type the following command (or copy paste). Again, make sure to read the NOTICE at the end of this documentation if your drive is not named Fledging_Feather:

 sudo bless --folder /Volumes/Fledging_Feather/System/Library/CoreServices/ --file /Volumes/Fledging_Feather/System/Library/CoreServices/boot.efi --setBoot

STEP THREE: 

Press return. You will be prompted with a password. Please type in your user password and press return again. Note that you will not be able to view the password you are typing in.

STEP FOUR: 

Repeat steps two and three with this secondary command, which will complete the blessing of your drive: 

 sudo bless --mount /Volumes/Fledging_Feather/System/Library/CoreServices/ --file /Volumes/Fledging_Feather/System/Library/CoreServices/boot.efi --setBoot

STEP FIVE: 

Turn your computer off (do not restart). Turn it on again and watch the Apple logo appear right away! Enjoy! 

 NOTICE: there might be a progress bar after you type your password to login, this is because you have FileVault enabled.

 *NOTICE: Before you copy paste this, please pay attention to the Fledging_Feather text in red. This is because the computer is named "Fledging_Feather"

Please change this to what your computer is named. Please do not use spaces! If you have a space in your name, you must use the escape character “\”.

Examples:

If your computer is named “Macintosh” then you will type Macintosh
sudo bless --folder /Volumes/Macintosh/System/Library/CoreServices/

If your computer is named “Macintosh HD” then you will type Macintosh\ HD
sudo bless --folder /Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/System/Library/CoreServices/

If your computer is named “Daniel Mac Computer” then you will type Daniel\ Mac\ Computer
sudo bless --folder /Volumes/Daniel\ Mac\ Computer/System/Library/CoreServices/

If your computer is named “Daniel  Computer” (there are TWO spaces in between) then you will type Daniel\ \ Computer
sudo bless --folder /Volumes/Daniel\ \ Computer/System/Library/CoreServices/
