RoxSTar1968 Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 I was replacing the standard com.apple.Boot.plist file so that it wuoldn't always boot in verbose mode. I deleted the old file and forgot to replace it with the edited one. Therefore, OS X86 will not boot. I know for a fact that this file is still on my desktop. Is there a way to use the install DVD to start up the terminal and simply replace the file?

There you will find your com.apple.Boot.plist. due to the rightsmanagement this file had been moved. Weeks ago had the same thing. Used my real iMac to copy over the file from DVD to HD. Did repair permissions. Works again.

erbic Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Boot up your install DVD, and hit Utilities --> Terminal. Assuming the file is on your desktop, do the following: cd ~/Desktop cp com.apple.boot.plist /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration That ought to do it. Might want to go Utilities --> Disk Utility and repair permissions just to be safe.
