Hello,

I'm trying to make my mac pro ask me to boot windows or Mac OS by default. I'm using a KVM switch that emulates a keyboard so holding option or alt keys doesn't work when booting.

I found a tutorial that was supposed to work for Tiger, but it doesn't seem to work with Leopard and I'm wondering if anyone can assist. Here's the terminal command:

sudo nvram boot-command="multi-boot"

after running that I can do:

sudo nvram -p

to show that the change has been made.

I've tried reseting the PRAM, etc.

Thanks in advance.
