I have an error in booting the mac which is installed in a guid partition with chameleon 2.0

 

it just stays in the chameleon gui bootloader(where you select the disk you want to boot) if i didn't set the the timeout in com.apple.boot.plist

 

if the plist is set in this way

<key>Kernel</key>
<string>mach_kernel</string>
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string></string>
<key>Default Partition</key>
<string>hd(0,2)</string>

it stops at the gui bootloader, and i need to press an enter in order to load into the partition disk0s2

 

but if i add a timeout in the plist

key>Kernel</key>
<string>mach_kernel</string>
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string></string>
<key>Default Partition</key>
<string>hd(0,2)</string>
<key>Timeout</key>
<string>5</string>

it loads the partition disk0s2 automatically after 5 seconds

 

i just wonder is there any way to load the partition disk0s2 without countdown, i think this is related to the active partition, but i have no way to flag the partition disk0s2 as active by fdisk in terminal with a guid partition table hard disk, all the partitions show as one.

fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0
fdisk: could not open MBR file /usr/standalone/i386/boot0: No such file or directory
Enter 'help' for information
fdisk: 1> p

4: 00	0   0   0 -	0   0   0 [		 0 -		  0] unused

So, is there any solution to load into partition disk0s2 (which is a partition in guid partition table) automatically without countdown with chameleon 2.0?
