How to remove boot message like "boot0 done"

[fkpwolf]

I can boot successfully but when I want to remove this message when booting. It is a little annoying.

Hi fkpwolf

As far as I know that is hard coded in the boot0 code. Check /i386/boot0.s from here.

So other than changing the source code, the only other option I can think of is to maybe add the 'Quiet Boot=Yes' boot option in your org.chameleon.Boot.plist, but without testing it I can't remember if that takes effect once the stage 2 loader (boot) is executed.

hi ,
 
with the trunk,

open the terminal:

cd /to_the_chameleon_dir

then tape:

make config

you will see this:



be sure that "boot0 verbose support" and "boot0 debug support" are not selected,

exit and make.

with the releases not based on the trunk, open with your preferred editor i386/boot0/boot0.s or i386/boot0/boot0hfs.s or i386/boot0/boot0md.s, depending on the boot0 that you want to use,

find :

Code: [Select]

;
; Set to 1 to enable obscure debug messages.
;
DEBUG EQU  0

;
; Set to 1 to enable verbose mode
;
VERBOSE EQU  0
and set both to 0

voila  :'(

I added the key/value, but then the os select menu disappear and enter windows directly.

I want to directly modify boot0*.s file. So I still need to check out code and compile, then replace old boot0 file with new build one? I knew there are some commands to write boot0 to MBR. Which boot*.s file I should choose?

Thanks for your excellent post cparm.

Mod edit: There's no need to quote a complete post when replying.

Which boot*.s file I should choose?

Generally speaking,
boot0 looks to load boot1 from the first active HFS partition.
boot0hfs looks to load boot1 from the first bootable HFS partition.
boot0md looks to load boot1 from everywhere  (A proper description can be found here).

Boot0md has pretty much superseded boot0hfs and you would use either boot0hfs or boot0md when dual booting with Windows from a different partition on the same HDD as OS X.

in the org.chameleon.Boot.plist file add "Boot Banner"=No
