Automate Darmin's Boot Flag

Are you tired from pressing F8, and writing -v cpus=1 -x -f etc? now you can rest, lets tell leopard to remember the setup we want.

login as "root" to leopard, from finder goto: /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration then open for edit using your favorite editor the file: com.apple.Boot.plist

Note: you can also do this from your login using terminal like this:

1. sudo -s
2. write your password and press enter
3. cd /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
4. nano com.apple.Boot.plist

the boot plist file is an XML file, so next you find this section:

Kernel Flags

and in the String tag enter your flags as if you were entering them in the darwin boot prompt it should look something like this:

Kernel Flags

-v cpus=1

save the changes and reboot. In command lime you may also use vi instead of nano, in case you don't know how to operate them here are links to a dummy guide:
