MacOS – Force Lion to boot 32 bit mode

macosvpn

How can I force OSX Lion to boot into 32bit mode without having to hold 3 + 2 down on boot?

I have to use the Cisco VPN Client to connect back into work and since upgrading it no longer works on 64bit. Cisco have dropped support for the client as well.

There is a Cisco VPN client built-in into Mac OS X. I am currently using it successfully to connect to my university VPN network from home.

Add it as an interface in Network Preferences -

Quickly connect to the VPN from the menubar -
