Information2 Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 What do you open the com.apple.Boot.plist with Don't bother reply i found it Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/41002-how-can-i-see-the-apple-logo-instead-of-the-kernel-debug-messages/#findComment-293675 Share on other sites More sharing options...
zackint0sh Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 open it w/ any text editor. Or if you have xcode installed you could open it w/ the property list editor. just go to /Applications/Utilities/Terminal, open Terminal, type 'sudo open /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist', type you password, then edit and save it w/ whatever mac os x opens it with. if plists aren't associated w/ anything you'll get to pick the program, you could just use /Applications/TextEdit or something. I would just delete the "-v", not the entire kernel flags key and string. It is fine to have empty <string></string>, and that way they'll be there if you want to ever pass any other kernel flags in the future (or who knows, maybe you already have different kernel flags along with the "-v"). You'll probably want to learn how to use vi (or emacs, or nano, whatever) so you can edit files w/o the gui, it is a useful skill for trying to run mac os x on non-official hardware .

asap18 Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 just drag the com.apple.Boot.plist to the desktop. Edit it, save. Move back to the same folder. Authenticate.

witzer Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 i have a certain question regarding the debug message. when i installed osx on my AMD box, i chose both 10.4.7 combo update and amd kernel from the installation option. when i boot up osx from the boot prompt, i get a lot of debug messages. then i do a second install, this time i only chose 10.4.7 combo update and leave out the rest. when i boot up my PC, the boot prompt is gone and i get the apple logo with the spinning bar below it. can't say i understand why but i'm glad to see the apple logo then all the frustrating debug messages.
