chicagofilms Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 I used PC EFI 10.1 to install SL and everything is running great. My Leo install boots with a different version of Chameleon I think. It has the lil green guy up top and a timer bar that selects a default drive when it times out after 5 seconds or so. How can I edit my SL install to do the same? If I remotley reboot my machine I want it to select my SL partition and boot after a few seconds, not just sit there waiting for me to hit enter. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remotley reboot my machine I want it to select my SL partition and boot after a few seconds, not just sit there waiting for me to hit enter. thanks The timeout part is easy: - Open com.Apple.boot.plist in TextEdit (the file is in your /Extra folder) - Add the following text: <key>Timeout</key> <string>5 (or whatever seconds you want the timeout to be at)</string> Actually making sure it boots the partition you want is something I'm currently researching. I think I found an answer here though: http://tsosie.wordpress.com/2009/07/20/cha...boot-partition/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicagofilms Posted September 3, 2009 Author Share Posted September 3, 2009 Thanks! That works for now since it has my SL partition set as the default. I can figure out how to change it later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacProUser83 Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 you can use either the boot-uuid kernel flag or <string>Default Partition</string> <key>hd(x,y)</key> where x is the Disk identifier and y is the partition identifier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
