Hey guys, i just recently purchased an additional SSD to install Windows 7 onto...
I've been booting through bios/(boot device) selection at startup with f12.

-Working MacOSX
-Unplugged MacOSX Drive and installed windows
-Plugged both drives back into place
-Set MacOSX as default boot

now i ...

-Installed Chimera (with latest multi-beast)
-Changed QuietBoot -> No

And all i get from selecting MacOSX is a blackscreen
or booting from Windows = BOOTMNG is missing CTRL + ALT + DELETE to restart..

CAN SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE!!
 
Chimera is v1.11.1 >< does anyone know how i can fix my boot!?

I stupidly installed 1.11 ontop of my 2.xx to fix my iMessage (which it did)
Now my boot is broken..
 
[SOLVED]

Booted from OSX Unibeast
-x

-Reinstalled Chimera 2
-Fixed up boot.plist -> QuietBoot=No -> Timeout=1
-Repaired permissions

Mac/OSX/Windows Dual boot :D

Awesome - Thank you!!!!

What I did as per your instructions:

1. Reinstalled the bootloader
2. Modified org.chameleon.Boot.plist. Here is what I had to amend/add (So people can copy/paste as it can be annoying to get both flags up at the same time in editors):

<key>Timeout</key>
<string>1</string>
<key>Quiet Boot</key>
<string>No</string>

3. Redid the Permissions in Kext Wizard
4. Rebooted
5. Took a sigh of relief!

Thanks again jaaaykx! Hope that code makes life easier for some people as I had trouble finding the correct keys.
