- Press F12 repeatedly for one-time boot-menu and select your usb (if your usb not appear on boot menu you must add manualy from bios)

To Do List and Things to Consider
- Config file does not include SMBIOS parameters which is a must. One needs to provide own values. There are guides here and there. Your friend is google as always. For ROM adress you can use your builtin ethernet card MAC adress. MacSerial by Acidanthera is a good way to obtain proper serial and motherboard serial numbers. UUID can be generated with terminal command uuidgen. Make it produced at least five times to be sure it is unique enough. For working imessage and facetime all should be set in a sensible way and make sure that they are not used by someone else either hackintosh or real mac.
- USBMap.kext is set to Macbookpro14,1. If you want to use a different SMBIOS you should also change the correspond model name in the info.plist inside the kext. Fingerprint device is closed to save battery and avoid long waiting before root access. it does not work anyway for now because apple does not allow to use third party ones.
