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...
