To get rid of the black loading screen issue open a terminal window and go to /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration

 

Then sudo vi com.apple.Boot.plist. You should see 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>-v</string>

<key>Boot Graphics</key>

<string>Yes</string>

<key>Timeout</key>

<string>10</string>

</dict>

</plist>

 

activate edit by hitting "i"

 

scroll down to <string>-v</string>

 

and delete the "-v" portion

 

Once that is done hit the escape key to get out of edit mode.

 

Type

 

:wq and then press "enter" to save changes and quit termal.

 

On a reboot you will no longer see the verbose drivers loading.
