KSwoosh Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I searched a bit around here, and found that to change the default boot disk, I need to add the following lines to com.apple.Boot.plist: <key>Default Partition</key> <string>hd(x,y)</string> So this is how I changed it: <key>Default Partition</key> <string>ACER</string> <key>Hide Partition</key> <string>BACKUP DATA</string> The reason I used labels instead of disk0s1 etc. is that for some reason disk1 and disk0 keep switching positions... :S really weird. (I want ACER to be the default disk, and hide BACKUP and DATA) Now, After copying com.apple.Boot.plist from /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/ to /Extra/ I added those lines, but nothing changes when I boot... What could I be doing wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.B Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 you cant use labels, you have to use the HDD numbers i.e. hd(0,2) the numbers can't change unless you such the cable sockets or something like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
