Yardie Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 You'll need to edit the com.apple.Boot.plist. from the terminal sudo nano /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist below <key>TimeOut</key> should be <string>...</string> change the value to 0 Or you can remove both key and string. You won't see darwin bootloader but it will be difficult to set system flags, for example: you need to boot in safe mode.

westwaerts Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 you cant remove the bootloader, other than you run an apple efi chip onboard. you can only pass it quick away, as posted before.

stephensaw Posted July 18, 2008 Author Share Posted July 18, 2008 If I set the time out fast, will it goes directly into my Vista boot? This is how my boot screen looks like: Vista Boot: 1. Vista 2. Leopard after I choose Leopard, it will then goes into Mac's bootloader 1. Vista 2. Leopard Is that mean I will need to set the boot default of the darwin bootloader to my Leopard then?
