Cannot set Default Parition

[thetrystero]

I just installed a new ML parition (disk0s3). I previously had a Lion install on disk0s2.

I want to boot in to the ML partition by default, and so set hd(0,3) in org.chameleon.boot.plist like so:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
        <key>Default Partition</key>
        <string>hd(0,3)</string>
        <key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>
        <string>Yes</string>
        <key>GenerateCStates</key>
        <string>Yes</string>
        <key>GeneratePStates</key>
        <string>Yes</string>
        <key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
        <string>Yes</string>
        <key>AtiConfig</key>
<string>Pithecia</string>
<key>AtiPorts</key>
<string>3</string>
        <key>Kernel</key>
        <string>mach_kernel</string>
        <key>Kernel Flags</key>
        <string>darkwake=0</string>
        <key>Legacy Logo</key>
        <string>Yes</string>
        <key>Theme</key>
        <string>DType</string>
        <key>Timeout</key>
        <string>2</string>
        <key>UseKernelCache</key>
        <string>Yes</string>
</dict>
</plist>

However, system still boots in to Lion hd(0,2) parition by default. Any ideas?

How about installing the Instant Menu option from Multibeast (under Boot Options)? Should save you the effort of having to switch between the two OSes, all you have to do is select it at boot.

The way you've put it in may not work. Try adding it like this into your Kernel Flags instead and see how that fairs:

<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>"Default Partition"=hd(0,3) darkwake=0</string>

Ok. I'll try that.
I suspect the system is looking for the bootloader on my lion part.
I tried installing a custom boot loader theme on to the ml part using chameleon wizard, but it did not show up. When Iinstalled it on the lion Part it showed up

Try running show all files and deleting the boot file from the root of the Lion partition. Make sure there is a boot file in the root of the ML partition. run show all files and select hide when done to hide the files again.

boot file meaning org.chameleon.boot.plist?
