MacOS – How to get rEFInd working with OS X 10.11 El Capitan

bootdual-bootefimacos

I noticed that I could not install and use rEFInd after upgrading to OS X 10.11 El Capitan. This restricts me to OS X so I cannot boot my Linux partition.

I get the following error: error "Could not set boot device property: 0xe00002bc"

You must disable System Integrity Projection.

  1. Restart the computer, while booting hold down Command-R to boot into recovery mode.
  2. Once booted, navigate to the “Utilities > Terminal” in the top menu bar.
  3. Enter csrutil disable in the terminal window and hit the return key.
  4. Restart the machine and System Integrity Protection will now be disabled.
