MrBryan Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Hi there, Just wondering if the Darwin boot menu can be set to offer OS choices automatically -- I.e without needing to press f8 quickly. Some startup file to edit or likewise? Thanks all, Bryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Try editing your boot.plist file: In Terminal, type: sudo nano /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist then add these lines <key>Quiet Boot</key> <string>No</string> <key>Timeout</key> <string>10</string> save, exit and reboot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GmanBen Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Hi there, Just wondering if the Darwin boot menu can be set to offer OS choices automatically -- I.e without needing to press f8 quickly. Some startup file to edit or likewise? Thanks all, Bryan MrBryan, do the method suggested by Rammjet. That will allow you to setup a boot menu that will give you a 10 seconds waiting time to press any key and display an OS booting menu, without the need to buy any extra software to build that. It works great, I am using it. If you don't know how to exactly do this check this page on my guide. It has detailed instruction and you can see a picture of the menu too.
