SOLVED Stuck at apple logo after edit to /org.chameleon.Boot.plist

I was editing the /org.chameleon.Boot.plist file for hd4000 support I was trying to get it working to where I can change resolution. I was only getting one resolution. I added to /org.chameleon.Boot.plist now I need to boot but can't.

can't find the exact code but it was something like this
in the org.chameleon.Boot.plist

I added something like

<key>device-properties</key>
<string>7f0000000100000001000000730000000200000002 010c00d041030a000000000101060000027fff04002c000000 4100410050004c002c00690067002d0070006c006100740066 006f0072006d002d0069006400000008000000050062011400 00006800640061002d0067006600780000000d0000006f6e62 6f6172642d31</string>

solved by removing my ssd drive connecting it to my macbook air using my USB 2.0 to IDE or Serial ATA Drive Adapter the going in to the org.chameleon.Boot.plist file and deleting what i added that caused the freeze at boot.

For future reference:

You can use the boot flag -F at the Chameleon screen to ignore your boot flags set in org.chameleon.Boot.plist. That should save you some time.

I tried that it was still freezing at the apple logo the spinning wheel just stops and nothing happened. Thanks

Same. I tried numerous combinations of boot prompts as I had added -F arch=i386 to my org.chameleon.boot.plist
- I tried:
-f
-F
-F -f
-f -F arch=i386
-f arch=i386
-F arch=i386
-f -F arch=i386 USBBusfix=Yes as if I used the scrolldown version of ignore caches I could get my hack to boot but w/o usb
-f USBBusFix=Yes
-F USBBusFix=Yes
and probably 5 or 6 other combos.

I had to go back to my work (half a block from my studio -oy vey the commute!) but I think Ill have to drag the HD from my hackintosh into my MacPro

I also tried swearing. It seems they were all poor choices.
I'd like to take to take this time to offer a public apology to my neighbors- that kind of language is just uncalled for :}
