rakusson Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Hi, I've dual boot (win 7, ML) MBR partition using EasyBCD. When I select ML from the boot menu, then chameleon enoch 2070 takes command but it chooses wrong default boot partition. I have to select manually 'MacintoshHD (ML partition)' to boot. It's not a problem but quite annoying. Apart from MacintoshHD partition, I do have another HFS+ partition (named MacBackup). This is diskutil list output: /dev/disk0 #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: FDisk_partition_scheme *320.1 GB disk0 1: 0x27 15.0 GB disk0s1 2: Windows_NTFS SYSTEM RESERVED 106.9 MB disk0s2 3: Windows_NTFS eMachines 154.6 GB disk0s3 4: Windows_NTFS Backup 95.3 GB disk0s5 5: Apple_HFS MacBackup 12.1 GB disk0s6 6: Apple_HFS MacintoshHD 43.0 GB disk0s7 I did add following in org.chameleon.Boot.plist <key>Default Partition</key> <string>hd(0,6)</string> However, it didn't help. I want chameleon to point MacintoshHD as a default NOT MacBackup.

rockinron_1 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 you answered your own question, you've told it to boot from your backup. change default partition hd(0,6) to hd(0,7) and you should be good to go Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/283970-chameleon-selects-wrong-partition/#findComment-1863620 Share on other sites More sharing options...
p.H Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 You simply set the wrong partition. It should be hd(0,7) As far as I know, you can set the default partition by it's name too.

It should be hd(0,7) As far as I know, you can set the default partition by it's name too. I changed to hd(0,7) but didn't work. Any suggestions? It seems chameleon is selecting the first HFS+ partition (i.e. MacBackup) as a default one.

rakusson Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 Used the Name for that drive. I did it, unfortunately, not working. strange. Looks like Chameleon is ignoring 'default partition' option.

For me, as long as I set the name of the drive, everything works fine here.
