I also have same problem here: I'm booting snow leopard from cd first and would like to get it to boot from my chameleon partition. Regular Leopard won't start from this boot cd either , I have to remove CD and reboot to start regular Leopard. Also I have lost dual screen support (I have geforce 9500gt which has dual screen working in regular leopard but not snow, I'm using EFI STUDIO 8500gt drivers with only 1024x768 resolution available and no dual screen. in regular leopard I'm using dual screen driver from ipc osx 10.5.6 universal release which i upgraded to 10.5.8 using ideneb upgrades but it doesn't work in snow leopard. one other problem I have is I no longer can write to my NTFS partitions in snow but works perfectly in regular leopard. I'D APPRECIATE ANY ANSWERS TO ANY OF THESE PROBLEMS GREATLY... I've tried writing files from boot cd to chameleon partition but cdboot doesn't work at all from hard drive (no surprise there) and I tried using boot file from snowfiles.dmg release which also doesn't work at all. I have intel DG41TY Motherboard with 32bit 2.5ghz duo. I also have two other AMD machines running Ideneb 10.5.8 release which strangely works better than intel machine (better compatability) as I can run parallels on these machines but not on the intel which for some reason doesn't support hardware virtualization and keeps asking for bios update which I have already updated to latest version. I tried Virtual PC and VMWARE and Boot Camp with same problem. (actually I can't get boot camp to work on any machines! but I don't mind on AMD because I'd rather use parallels than Boot Camp any day!) I will try snow leopard on these AMD machines next...

Once inside Snow with boot-123 CD, install first Chameleon 2.0 RC3 and after install PC-EFI 10.5
