CooSee Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 you have to edit the ' KernelFlags ' Option , e.g with PlistEdit Pro, ' com.apple.Boot.plist ' or if you use newer Version of Chameleon ' org.chameleon.Boot.plist '. here's mine for comparison CooSee ' Ya org.chameleon.Boot.plist.zip Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/270832-how-do-i-get-to-add-v-or-others-before-boot/#findComment-1763560 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thks But when you reboot, after the BIOS loads, it does get to the point where Chameleon is sitting there waiting for you to choose your startup disk right? Right there is where you type in -v and then hit return. Unless you have "Quiet Boot=Yes"in your com.Chameleon.Boot.plist file.

biglips Posted October 25, 2011 Author Share Posted October 25, 2011 I am not getting that option at boot , I am getting either boot into windows or lion so where do i go check in osx to fix this ? thks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/270832-how-do-i-get-to-add-v-or-others-before-boot/#findComment-1764565 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigpoppa206 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 That's what I'm talking about, when you get to the point where you have to choose which system to load, type -v and then select the Lion drive and hit return and you should be verbose mode. Then whatever line is right before the crash should help you to determine what is causing the problem. Good luck!

bigpoppa206 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Isn't that for Windows? Why not use Chameleon? It allows you to both both Mac and Windows...and allows the extra options I'm talking about. Unless it's a situation where you might have to reinstall Windows. You should research dual booting options for your particular setup.
