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?

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
