Modifying Mac's boot.ini

I finally installed JaS 10.4.8 but I need to type in 'cpus=1' everytime I boot because I have an HT processor. Is there a way in which I can modify the boot.ini for it to be automatically included? Also, it would be better if it would have a timeout so I could choose Windows as well.

 

Thanks.

You are looking for the file com.apple.Boot.plist in /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration.

Copy it to the desktop and open it with TextEdit. In between the "<string> </string>" under Kernel Flags, add cpus=1. Then, add this before the </dict>:

 

<key>Timeout</key>

<string>30</string>

 

Change 30 to the number seconds you want for a timeout.

Save the changes, and copy it back to SystemConfiguration, overwrite the original.
