Hiding Partitions From Chameleon Selection
« on: June 07, 2010, 06:41:54 AM »
I just got finished tweaking Chameleon v2.0 RC2. I have to say, I love it now that I know what all it's capable of. :D

My question is though, is it possible to hide partitions from the selection? I have several, one of which has no OS installed and is not bootable, though it still shows in the menu and is kind of a nuisance. Any pointers would be appreciated. Sorry if there is already a topic on this, I surfed around and didn't see anything really related, and I also looked through the C2.0 docs. -shrug-

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

I tried using the following, to no avail. I'm not quite sure what the proper syntax would be. I am able to change other attributes in the Boot.plist for some reason, just not hiding the partition.  :-\

<key>Hide Partition</key>
<string>hd(0,3)</string>

I have also tried subbing in [hd(0,3)]; hd(0,3) [hd(0,3)] etc. No results.

It looks like you're doing it right. I'm using this and it works just great.
Code: [Select]
        <key>Hide Partition</key>
        <string>hd(0,7) hd(0,8) hd(0,9) hd(1,4) hd(1,6)</string>

I'm still not having any luck hiding the partition. It shows the location as being 'disk0s3' and I only have one hard disk running on the system. Any ideas?

Ah, nevermind. I didn't realise I needed RC4 to use this feature. Problem solved. :P
