Uptown_J Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 I know this sounds crazy but I would like to run this OS in 32bit mode until I am ready to move to 64 bit. I would like to edit the com.apple.boot.plist so that I don't have to type -x32 everytime I boot up Snow Leopard. By default it wants to use 64bit kernel on my system. I know to force 64bit one must put in the kernel flags area, but what do I put for 32 bit mode?

DocShadow Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 In plist it's -x32. The arch command is for Chameleon. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/181985-forcing-32bit-kernel-at-boot/#findComment-1237258 Share on other sites More sharing options...
