OSX grey boot splash screen

[dsbnz]

Have just installed 10.4.6 (Myzar DVD) on x86 laptop. When booting, the drivers loading and system configuration is displayed as white txt on black screen. Is there a way to enable the grey boot splash screen with spinning wheel while the drivers load in abckground??

Edit the following flle and under "Kernel Flags", remove the "-v":

 

/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist

I'm also stuck on the grey screen. Could you please say what you mean with the "remove the -v" and stuff.

Do I (and how do I) have to do this in Terminal or something?

Yes, open Terminal and type:

 

sudo -s

pico /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist

 

Now you're editing the Boot plist so be careful.

Search (press Ctrl+W) for Kernel Flags

and then remove the flag -v

 

Exit pico (press Ctrl+X) and choose Y (as in Yes) to save changes.

Now you're back in Terminal as shell.

Now type exit twice more to exit sudo and log out of Terminal. Close applications and reboot.
