legionX Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 I'm trying to modify com.apple.boot.plist to add <key>Quiet Boot</key> <string>No</string> <key>Timeout</key> <string>10</string> so that I can use the Darwin bootloader to load OSX or WindowsXP, but it keeps telling me I can't save the file. How do I override this? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/42231-bootplist-dual-boot-question/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neonkoala Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Open terminal and type: sudo -s <<enter password here for root>> nano /path/to/com.apple.boot.plist Changing "path/to" to the real path which I can't currently remember.

Bruce Wang Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Just drag boot.plist to the desktop. After modified, drag it back. Bruce Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/42231-bootplist-dual-boot-question/#findComment-302388 Share on other sites More sharing options...
