Dual Booting with Chameleon 2.0

I am SO happy!

I FINALLY got my OS X drive to boot, using Chameleon 2.0!

Now, how do I configure it?

Because the rest of my family knows Winders (& I can't get to the internet from OSX) I want it to default to Vista. At least for now...

In your com.apple.boot.plist just add the following before the closing </dict></plist>

Code:

<key>Default Partition</key>
<string>hd(x,x)</string>

where hd(x,x) is the disk and partition number Vista is installed on. For example on my system I have hd(0,2). You can find this out easily in terminal by typing:

Code:

diskutil list

The full list of chameleon boot options can be found here.

OK...
A) OS X no longer boots. The bootmenu comes up. I can go thru it, and pick any options. Even on verbose, I get a ton of text, then the machine just stops on a black screen. And no, I havn't done anything to it yet.
A.1) It still comes up if I rd=disk1s1 from the DVD

B) Where is com.apple.boot.plist?

for B, click on your os x drive, and then go to Extra, and it should be there
