Bless is an OSX command used to set the active boot volume.

Tests performed

  • Intel Core Duo @ 1.83GHz
  • Don't know how Ubuntu was installed, OSX disk utility shows disk0s1 and disk0s5 (root and swap)
  • Before bless:

51 second boot from light on, flashes empty folder symbol briefly, black screen before GRUB, defaults to OSX external drive if available

  • Ran:
sudo bless --device /dev/disk0s1 --setBoot --legacy
  • Result: 40 second boot, no empty folder shown, no lengthy black screen before GRUB, defaults to Ubuntu with OSX external drive available
