Proper location for dsdt.aml and smbios.plist
.o0- Proper location for dsdt.aml and smbios.plist -0o.
I figured out where cdboot and boot (Netkas' PC EFI v10.5) load dsdt.aml and smbios.plist from... It loads it from the ramdisk image file, known as initrd.img or Preboot.dmg. This makes complete sense, since it loads kexts from this location. Originally, I thought it loaded dsdt.aml and smbios.plist from ISOroot(132Mars|132Jupiter)/Extra, but that isn't the case, especially after you opt to use the override location keys for DSDT and SMBIOS.
I am using the override location keys for DSDT and SMBIOS in (initird.img|Preboot.dmg)/Extra/com.apple.Boot.plist:
<key>DSDT</key>
<string>rd(0,0)/Extra/DSDT.aml</string>
<key>SMBIOS</key>
<string>rd(0,0)/Extra/smbios.plist</string>
