I'm running Chimera v1.7.0 r1394 as my bootloader, and wanted to set it up so after 5 seconds it would automatically boot into Snow Leopard. I looked around and after researching, added the key and string for timeout to my apple.boot file, however it doesn't seem to work. I'm getting a bit confused, as from other things I've read it is suggested that using the Chameleon bootloader, you should have an org.chameleon file instead, which you would have to edit. Are Chimera and Chameleon the same thing? And what do I need to do? Thanks!
 
Ignore this, I've replaced my extra folder with the extra folder from the preboot.dmg file from the iBoot CD, and now chimera loads from extra, rather than from preboot.dmg, which was what it appears to have been doing before. This is decent, now I can finally edit my Chameleon plist!
