WhatTheFiber Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Go to Library>Preferences>SystemConfiguration>com.apple.Boot.plist Copy it to your desktop and open it in Text Edit. Locate the following <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string></string> And add -f in between <string> and </string> It should now look something like this <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string> -f </string> Save and drag it back into the directory. It will ask you for your password and if you want to overwrite the existing file. Go ahead and click "replace" and enter your password.
