I have Lion 10.7 newly installed on my Shuttle SH67H3 but can't get it to timeout (autoselect my Lion partition) and so I have to manually press enter every time I boot up when it's at the Chimera boot screen. At the moment my com.apple.Boot.plist is

Code:
<?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>Instant Menu</key>
	<string>Yes</string>
	<key>Legacy Logo</key>
	<string>Yes</key>
	<key>Kernel</key>
	<string>mach_kernel</string>
	<key>Default Partition</key>
	<string>hd(0,2)</string>
	<key>Timeout</key>
	<string>2</string>
</dict>
</plist>

Previously I had Chameleon RC5 r_1084 installed, and now I've installed the latest Chimera and still don't have any luck with it. Also, if I remove "Default Partition" it doesn't make a difference. I've also read previous accounts that maybe the following would help, but it doesn't help with the timeout issue, although it does remove the GUI from the bootloader.

Code:
<key>GUI</key>
<string>n</string>

Any help would be greatly appreciated because I have no idea at this point.
 
Ok, I actually figured it out. I just needed to change the "Instant Menu" to No, like

Code:
<key>Instant Menu</key>
<string>No</string>

It took a while, but that's nice to have figured out.
