justvisiting Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 in the terminal as root (or sudo -s) cd /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguraton cp com.apple.Boot.list com.apple.Boot.list.bak then edit the com.apple.Boot.list file and look for: <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string></string> if you see "-v" below "Kernel Flags", remove it and save your file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BJMoose Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Hi, is there any chance of explaining this in a bit more detail? id really appreciate that as im very new to Mac and still battle to find my way round it. Tnx! Let's try it from the beginning: 1. In the menu bar, goto GO>Utilities>Terminal -- that will open up the terminal window 2. Type the following (not the parentheses): sudo -s (hit enter/return this gives you root access) 3. You will then be prompted for your password (type it in and hit enter/return) 4. Now type: cd /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguraton (hit enter/return -- this takes you to the SystemConfiguration directory) 5. Now type: cp com.apple.Boot.plist com.apple.Boot.plist.bak (hit enter/return -- this creates a backup copy of your plist file. the previous poster just forgot the 'p' in front of 'list') 6. Now that you have your backup copy you can edit the original 7. Type: nano /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist (hit enter/return and this will open your plist file for editing) 8. Scroll down to where you see: <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>-v</string> (v = verbose, which is why you see all the text on your screen at boot up) 9. Remove the -v 10. Type: [command key and O] together (that will write out or save your new plist) 11. Type: [command key and X] together (that will exit terminal) 12. Reboot (if you did everything properly, you will no longer boot in verbose mode) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puma21 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I followed the steps to turn off -v at start but now my computer shuts down to a black screen and then i need to hold the power button to shut it down. Anyone know a fix??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
