Chameleon problem.. Plz

[LGA]

Hellow, I have iDeneb v1.4 10.5.6, I have: Linux, Ideneb, Windows Vista anda Data partition to share file with the others OS. I boot the pc with chameleon bootloader and It boots: Windows NTFS, Linux, Macintosh HD, and DATA. So I want eliminate the Data partition of the boot, and change the name of the partitions. How can i do to do it?

Chameleon doesn't support hiding partitions. If you want to change the windows partition name, change it in windows from untitled to whatever you want and chameleon will read the new name. Not even sure if you can change the partition name in linux.

Hi, Thanks for the other answer. I have other question, how can I do to boot Windows Vista when Chameleon boot. Mac is booting so I have to press a key to boot other OS, so I want to change this, I want that windows vista boot first.

 

PD: Sory for my english, I'm from Argentina.

 

Thanks

First off copy your com.apple.Boot.plist from /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/ to /Extra/ Chameleon v2 will use the new one so you don't have to mess with the original (more vanilla....ie).

 

Now open the terminal and type in...

diskutil list

Then find your vista partition and make note of the hard drive number and partition number

 

Next modify the com.apple.Boot.plist in /Extra/ and right before

</dict>
</plist>

add....

<key>Default Partition</key>
<string>hd(X,Y)</string>

Where X is the hard drive number and Y is the partition number

 

Reboot and you should see your vista partition above the timeout bar

 

P.S.: Also you can make the com.apple.Boot.plist in /Library/Pref.... the original one. It should look 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></string>
</dict>
</plist>

I can't modify the com.apple.Boot.plist becouse It says something about permissions. How can i do?.

Drag it to the desktop, edit it, and place it in the /Extra/ folder (will ask for password)
