This tutorial will show you how to take away the ugly boot code, plus remove the countdown on darwin( do not remove if you plan on duel booting)

 

This tutorial will take place in one file. Make sure to backup the file incase something goes wrong.

 

com.apple.Boot.plist

which is found in

/Library/Prefrences/SystemConfiguration

Step one

 

Open the file and locate

<string>-v</string>

Step two

 

Replace

-v

With your display setting

 

Example:

<string>"Graphics Mode"="1680x1050x32"</string>

Now we are ready to remove the countdown on booting, to make your Hackintosh look more Macintoshish

 

Step one

 

Locate

<key>Timeout</key>
<string>10</string>

Step two Completely remove this code.

 

Your File should now look something like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Kernel</key>
<string>mach_kernel</string>
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>"Graphics Mode"="1680x1050x32"</string>
</dict>
</plist>

 

 

Enjoy
