I have done a few searches of the forum and I am unable to find the full list of features I can use in the plist file.

I am stuck on a) Renaming drives - Found the sample hd(0,1) Lion; hd(0,2) Win**** how ever not sure what the key is called - I want to call my 'System Reserved' Win7.

and b) Default Boot Win7 for my kids... I did a diskutil list and as you can see entered the correct partition ( System Reserved ) how ever Chimera boots and sits waiting for a person to do some thing with it.

I would appreciate any thoughts people may have...

Thanks

To rename 'System Reserved' in Chimera, enter the following lines in org.chameleon.boot.plist.

<key>Rename Partition</key>
<string>"oldName" newName</string>


Hope this works for you.
