HELLFISH Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 I'm running Chameleon 2 RC5 rev. 874 for dual boot startup solution. This works well. I thought I could understand the boot options, but either I can not do I what I want, or I am not understanding, so I ask here for some help. I want to, when I turn on the computer, to show OSX and Win7 selections. I then want OSX to boot automatically after 5 seconds. I thought I could do this with the plist like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>Theme</key> <string>Default</string> <key>Boot Banner</key> <string>No</string> <key>Instant Menu</key> <string>Yes</string> <key>Wait</key> <string>No</string> <key>Timeout</key> <string>5</string> <key>Default Partition</key> <string>hd(0,3)</string> <key>Hide Partition</key> <string>hd(1,1) </string> <key>DSDT</key> <string>hd(0,2)/Extra/dsdt.aml</string> <key>GenerateCStates</key> <string>Yes</string> <key>GeneratePStates</key> <string>Yes</string> <key>Graphics Mode</key> <string>1680x1050x32</string> <key>GraphicsEnabler</key> <string>Yes</string> <key>Kernel</key> <string>mach_kernel</string> <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string></string> <key>PciRoot</key> <string>1</string> </dict> </plist> But although this does show both options like I want, but I must press [enter] to launch OSX. It will not launch by itself after 5 seconds. If I set Instant Menu to "No", then I only show one option (OSX), but it will start automatically after 5 seconds. Can I show both options, and boot OSX automatically?

ifrit05 Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 If you enable instant menu then it overrides the countdown. <key>Hide Partition</key> <string>hd(1,1) </string> Are you sure thats not your Windows partition/Hard drive? Make sure by running the Terminal command: diskutil list Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/257861-can-i-show-both-osx-and-win7-default-boot-osx/#findComment-1688790 Share on other sites More sharing options...
HELLFISH Posted May 26, 2011 Author Share Posted May 26, 2011 Yeah, hd(1,1) is my media drive. It stays hidden even after pressing cursors... I'm guessing it is just not possible to show both entries, and have a countdown. I have to choose one or the other with "Instant Menu".
