Click to expand...

I think OP means that they want to be given the menu that comes up when they hold alt automatically.

"I don't want to hold down the option key to select a partition every time I boot up MY MBP. Anyway to get it automatically?"

Not possible AFAIK.

You MUST use the option key to invoke the Startup Manager.

No other way....
