Stuie Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Hi Group, Anyway to force Darwin Bootloader to appear by default instead of having to press F8 on reboot. Also can I set a timeout like with GRUB or Windows bootloader?

Rammjet Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Setting the timeout parameter will force the bootloader to appear. Edit the boot.plist file at "/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist" and add the following: <key>Timeout</key> <string>10</string> You can edit the file by dragging it to the Desktop and editing it with TextEdit, then dragging it back, answering the 2 resulting dialogs - Authenticate and yes to replace, then followed by using Disk Utility to repair permissions on the OSX partition. Or you can do it via Terminal with this command: sudo nano /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/26427-force-display-of-darwin-bootloader/#findComment-179246 Share on other sites More sharing options...
