ppcmmac Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 copy com.apple.Boot.plist, edit it on another computer, boot in single user mode and copy it back into the hackintosh.

bilsta58 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 just COPY it to another machine like this by copying to a usb stick enter this cp -R /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist /Volumes/YOUREXTERNALDISK/ ....After you done editing re-copy it back onto the external disk and then delete it by entering single user mode enter this after you hit F8 "" -s "" and put this command in rm -rf /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist then place the safe com.apple.Boot.plist on an external usb stick and copy the com.apple.boot.plist so enter this cp -R /Volumes/YOUREXTERNALDISK/com.apple.Boot.plist /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist .......I think thats it but anyhow ....reboot thats it!.
