A CCC recovery partition is a disc image located at /Library/Application Support/com.bombich.ccc/Recovery HD.dmg, and I was wondering if simply having the dmg somewhere on my deuced Mac(hina) without the presence of an appropriate [*]boot.efi OS would be a qualifying circumstance. (I won't have time to do what I now see is the requisite checking until I get back from FL next week.)
Good question‼ï¸
In the Recovery HD.dmg I found...
- BaseSystem.Chunklist
- BaseSystem.dmg
- boot.efi
- com.apple.Boot.plist
- Kernel Cache — \com.apple.boot\prelinkedkernel
- Kernal Flags — rp=file:///com.apple.recoveryboot/BaseSystem.dmg
- PlatformSupport.plist
- SupportedBoardids — a list of 62 logic board numbers
- SupportedModeProperties — alist of 54 Mac model ids (Macmini6.2)
- prelinkedkernel
- SystemVersion.plist
- ProductBuildVersion
- ProductCopyright
- ProductUserVisibleVerion — 10.12
- ProductVersion — 10.12
If there is anything that makes the Recovery HD unique to a particular OS version it is ProductVersion number, or deeply embedded in the BaseSystem.dmg, and/or is part of the negotiation between the BaseSystem and the Apple servers when the actual system installer is selected for download.
Artie will be returning from Florida next week while my wife and I will be on an adults only (no children or grandchildren) visit with our good friends Mickey and Minnie near Orlando.
