IDE disk displaced SATA as 'secondary' or disk 1, Chameleon MacOS loader doesn't find com.apple.Boot.plist file now

IDE disk displaced SATA as 'secondary' or disk 1, Chameleon MacOS loader doesn't find com.apple.Boot.plist file now

I have a SATA and an IDE disks, when I added the IDE disk, it was recognized as disk 0 and the SATA disk became disk 1. Everything works perfectly, I can change the boot order from setup so it's ok.

"It could be that your motherboard is set to POST IDE devices first - thereby Chameleon recognizes your IDE hard disk as the first device.

It has nothing to do with boot order, but more rather in terms of the sequence your BIOS reports hard disks, e.g disk01, disk02, etc.

I suggest you find a way to edit Chameleon's boot preference files to boot from the SATA disk itself. That's another question, by the way. :)"
