Chameleon 2 - Boot Delay remains
 
The install I used did not offer Chameleon 2, so I used what was there with a 5 second delay, then installed C2.

When I edited com.apple.Boot.plist, the delay was not there, but every reboot only shows OS X with a delay. (If it defaulted to Windows, the wife would be happy)

Where else would the delay be stored?

It should be in com.apple.Boot.plist in /Extra.

Code:

<key>Timeout</key>
<string>7</string>

Default partition should be
Code:

<key>Default Partition</key>
<string>hd(0,2)</string>

Change it to your needs.

First: Thank you.

Second: I changed it to:
<key>Default Partition</key>
<string>hd(0,1)</string>
but there is no Timeout setting. Chameleon 2 now comes up showing drives "OS X" (HighLighted), "Music" and "Vista". /Dev/Disk0s1 is named Vista.

Yes, it could be that it comes without that option. Just add new key/string for timeout and the value in seconds.

Wait...Now I'm confused...

Your saying com.apple.Boot.plist in /Extra (Which was correct)

another website I found (unknown) said /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration (Where I found them on my Acer/Mac)

Both are correct, but which one is the better place to put it and why? Are there more places?

It is in these two places. Extra folder is to keep your other vanilla files untouched. It has the priority.

Do I NEED both? Seems a little redundant.
Should I concern myself with whats in which?

Right now, both have been changed.

No, leave that one in /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration intact and just tweak the one in /Extra.
