MP 1,1-5,1 boot.efi locked

[midipuppies]

Hello All,

I am trying to do the unsupported upgrade in a 2,1 machine with upgraded graphics card.

I was able to follow the tutorials up until replacing the boot.efi file. It will not overwrite the existing one, and it is locked.

I am unable to unlock it by any way I can see. After running the sudo chg.... commands I can go no further.

Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated.

It's at times like this when I log in as "root".

Mac administrators can use the root user account to perform tasks that require access to more areas of the system.

Just be careful at what you are doing.
