Change OS X boot screen

[dmmcintyre3]

I know about this:

But is there a way to insert an image at the top in verbose mode like some linux does?

No. Get a PC for advanced customisation

I don't think there is. Do you actually reboot your Mac in Verbose mode enough to matter?

A better question would be when do I not boot in verbose mode. Never. I cannot tell if it stalled or not if I do not do verbose mode.

If your Mac stalls during boot enough that you feel the need for verbose mode, you need to get that checked out. There is no reason to boot verbose every time.

Remember 10.5.7?

It's like one of my friends has extra gages on his old car. There there when he needs it and he just ignores them when he doesn't.

What about it? I've had no issues, especially during boot.

Installing it? It locked up on me and after that I set bootflags to -v.

And how many times since then has it frozen during boot?

And how many times since then has it frozen during boot?

Lets see...

My intel:

Bad boot loader
3-4 kernel panics on boot
Bad boot loader again
Bad kexts causing kernel panics again

My G4:

a kernel panic kext somehow got installed *ATTACK MONSTER WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY PB* Had to buy a 6-4 pin firewire cable and hook it to my intel to remove it.

Then you might have a bigger issue, and if you do, you definitely should not be screwing with the bootX sequence.

It may even be possible that your tinkering has caused some of that.

It's a hackintosh. (the intel)

There's your problem - not 10.5.7.

The G4 gave me more trouble during the update than the dell.
