I'd like to be able to boot into the recovery mode the next time the machine boots not by using the start up key presses. I'm already logged in in normal user mode - can I set this in the terminal?
Any help with this is much appreciated.

sudo bless -mount /Volumes/Startup_Disk_Name -setBoot
terminal command, but you'll have to find out how to specify the recovery mode partition. Usediskutil list
command to find the partitions. – IconDaemon May 4 '18 at 18:53diskutil list
and then mounted withdiskutil mount disk03
and then your suggestion with the-nextonly
flag too. If you add an answer I'll give you the cred, it's how I found the full list of commands here. Many thanks. – Iain May 6 '18 at 16:50disk03
? I'm looking at mydiskutil list
and I see no disks in the identifier column with that leading zero. I have a Fusion internal drive and three externals.disk0
anddisk1
are fused intodisk 2
. The externals aredisk3, disk4, disk5
. The hard path to the drives in /dev also have no leading zero. – IconDaemon May 6 '18 at 18:09diskutil list
says it was, I'm not near that machine right now so I couldn't check. But it was 3 in the list. Very similar though whatever it was. – Iain May 6 '18 at 19:41
