Unable to get Drive Selection Screen as default
« on: May 23, 2009, 06:00:06 AM »
Here is my ~/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.boot.plist from my OS X partition.  The drive is partitioned as GUID with a 200mb /EFI partition (gparted under ubuntu 9.0.4 live shows it as a FAT-32 partition) which is empty except for an EFI folder.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
   <key>Kernel</key>
   <string>mach_kernel</string>
   <key>Kernel Flags</key>
   <string></string>

   <key>Graphics</key>
   <string>Yes</string>

   <key>Instant Menu</key>
   <string>Yes</string>

   <key>USBBusFix</string>
   <string>Yes</string>


</dict>
</plist>

What do I need to add to this file to dump it to the drive selection screen without having to press any key at the timer?

Never mind,  I finally got it working after I modified /Extra/com.apple.boot.plist on my boot drive.  Amazing what lack of sleep does for one's brain.
