[Help] I have lost the Darwin Booting

[eXKR]

Once installed OSx86 with fully support I have checked on booting "Graphics Mode"="1280x1024x16" and it worked for me so that I inserted these lines inside com.apple.Boot.plist:

 

<key>Graphics Mode</key>

<string>1280x1024x32@85</string>

 

 

I have also added:

 

<key>Quiet Boot</key>

<string>Yes</string>

 

instead of the one I wanted:

 

<key>Quiet Boot</key>

<string>Yes</string>

 

The result is that I can' boot Darwin, I mean, on boot I can access the first boot menu:

 

Windows XP

Apple Mac OSX

 

I'm able to choose the "Apple Mac OSX" but when I hit Enter it goes back to the same boot menu instead of going ahead to Darwin's.

 

I guess that is the com.apple.Boot.plist error... how can I access it without booting?

 

Anyone know a solution? I really don't feel like reinstalling...

Thanks in advance.

soon after you select enter by selecting Apple Mac OSX hit F8

this should give u the menu

 

if it does then Edit the boot.plist file and add the following:

 

<key>Timeout</key>

<string>10</string>

 

let us know if it helps

Great, it works, I can now access the Darwin boot menu.

From there how can I access and edit the com.apple.Boot.plist?

 

Thanks again.

Try using the boot option "-F" (that is a capital F)

Solved!

 

Once I hit F8 and access to Darwin boot menu I have typed -v to boot in verbose mode and I was able to boot it. Once on desktop I have opened the Terminal and edited the com.apple.Boot.plist.

 

Thanks to everyone.
