Title: How to change Chamelon boot menu from automatically booting an os
Post by: koolzero on April 24, 2010, 05:03:40 AM

I have a dell mini 10v and recently upgrade from osx 10.6.2 to osx 10.6.3.  My system is setup with a dual boot along with windows 7.   After upgrading though I am no longer able to get my boot loader to pause at the bootup and wait for me to pick the os i want to load.  What I tried doing was the following:

I added

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

to:

/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist file.

If I'm not doing this right please let me know what I need to do differently.

Thanks, and I apologize before hand if this was posted.  I could not find a thread for it.

It's in the docs that come with the Chameleon download. You can also find them among the stickied FAQ posts right here in the forum.

Post the contents of your com.apple.Boot.plist.
