I have many computer suites which are set up as "Dual Boot". I install bootpicker through ARD and set the plist file settings through ARD also. I had a little trouble with some MacBook Pro's I set up in this way. It all appeared to work, what with the bootpicker screen coming up. But upon clicking "Windows" it rebooted the machine straight back into OS X.
This takes quite some time to realise if your busy multitasking, as you think: Oh, whoops, forgot to click Windows, better click it!
So I thought I'd best look into it. After a minute I figured out that all you need to do was a PRAM reset. i.e. hold down "cmd + alt + p + r" for at least one beep (maybe up to three)
After doing this it all worked beautifully. I guess there must be some setting in the PRAM which needs refreshing?
