Changing the boot priority on RDB via Shell or CLI. Possible?
« on: February 19, 2010, 03:27:57 PM »
Hey guys,

I´m back with another hairy question :-P

Do you guys know if there are any way to change the boot priority of the partitions on a Harddrive by a shell command?

I have 4 OSes in my A4000 HD, and it´s too boring having to select it via Early Startup Menu all the time i want to boot into a different installation. Or even have to boot into any installation to run HDToolBox to change it before i can boot the system a want to use...

As you guys know any of these systems, given to patches and improvements, have to reboot the machine at least once (so there are 2 boot time delays). So i have to press the two mouse buttons at least twice. My AOS3.9 install boots 3 times. It´s really boring and not pratical.

I would like to do a simple script that could work like a boot selector, changing the partition that have the system i want to use, to the higher priority.

I don´t need to check what priority the partition have. I just need to set it.

Thank you!

I've since edited a boot priority script for myself that boots to WB31/OS39/OS4.
