About the new options
Hide Partition
Using this option you can enumerate all your partitions what you would like to remove from the boot menu, the syntax is similar to the Default Partition option but here you can specify many volumes in your com.apple.Boot.plist:
<key>Hide Partition</key>
<string>hd(0,1) hd(2,5)</string>In the above example the booter won’t display partition 1 on BIOS drive 0 and partition 5 on disk 2.
PciRoot
This is a similar option what you can find in PC_EFI, but we’re doing this a bit different: The default value is still 0 but you can set to any arbitrary value like:
<key>PciRoot</key>
<string>1</string>About the patches and fixes applied in RC4-r684
Here is a quick Changelog highlight
Fixed booting the default partition when using timeout. Added Intel Core i5 detection.
Applied rivig’s patch against all stage 1 loaders. Now linear address mapping uses 12 bit offsets. Added DigitalDJ’s SMBIOS CPU detection patch. Applied IntVar’s system-id patch. Applied hnak’s read_lba register saving patch. Added radekg’s HFS filesystem fix to handle 2GB+ file sizes. Backported ATI device injection EFI64 tables and hibernation fix from netkas’ PC_EFI. Thanks and credits goes for them!

Keep up!
You serious man! That's community.. we share! Do anything you like! :d
My external HDs seem to be recognised now
For some reason, the previous version wouldn't recognise my external HDs, but this Chamy RC4 seems to recognise them perfectly
Someone has tested / knows if there is 46×0 45×0 43×0 support like netkas beta booter had?
I must be dumb or something, but do i just copy the boot file to upgrade from RC3?
Yeah with the right persmissions and/or probably nothing else if you have the latest fakesmc
