In your com.apple.boot.plist remove: -v
It's within the line under kernel flags.

This file can be found in /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/

You must be looking in the wrong directory, probably System.

You can find it here: http://www.grabup.com/uploads/a5aea6...03fca40993.png

That's because you're looking in your home directory (which is a common mistake).
Code:
~/Library = Users/yourname/Library/
/Library = HD Root/Library/

com.apple.Boot.plist
- "get info"
- look down at the bottom - "permissions"
- click the lock, enter admin password,
- click the "+", add yourself and/or administrators,
- click permissions choose read/write
- exit.

You also need the same permissions for the folder that it's in... (that means "change the permissions in the folder too"...)

Running both 10.5.8 and 10.6.4 on my stinking AMD/ATi machine...

thanks for all the help i just experimented and fixed it also i was just wondering is there a way to make darwin kernal automatically load OS X instead of me having to press enter to select it? ive managed to take out that 10sec thing which automatically selects it after 10secs but now it just goes straight to the select OS menu. i removed it by replacing the 10 in the com.apple.Boot.plist with a 0. so if there is anyway for it to auto select OS X it would be great if you could explain it to me

thanks!
very supportive forum
love the AMD dedication
