SOLVED - How to disable boot options showing

[petejk]

I've read through the documentation and am trying to get my snow install to boot (chained from grub 2) without the chameleon boot menu asking for input

i've successfully changed the apple boot logo, so my plist is being read, but just havent found the correct option yet

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//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>arch=i386</string>
   <key>Wait</key>
   <string>no</string>
   <key>Instant Menu</key>
   <string>no</string>
   <key>Default Partition</key>
   <string>hd(0,2)</string>
   <key>Legacy Logo</key>
   <string>yes</string>
</dict>
</plist>

any advice appreciated,
thanks, pete k

I think you are missing the: ["Quiet Boot"=] argument, also the I think using the Defaul partition needs a timeout key too, and it cant be 0, not sure if this has been fixed...

Thanks for the advice!

I added the timeout, disabled the GUI, and set quietboot. Select Snow from Grub2, and it boots smoothly into snow after a 1 sec delay. Well pleased
