Kalyway, OSX Retail, & Chameleon - Selecting A Boot Partition

[ksudeadeye]

Hey All:

 

I've got a Core2 workstation based on an Asus P5B-E mobo running Vista on an internal hard drive (HD).

 

I've got an external USB 320GB HD I'd like to use for a Hackintosh install. Here's the jist of what I've done so far:

 

1) Booted Kalyway 10.5.2 and partitioned the external drive three ways:

 

a: osx_kalyway (20GB GUID parition, Mac Journaled Ext)

b: osx_retail (240GB GUID partition, Mac Journaled Ext)

c: osx_backup (60GB GUID partition, Mac Journaled Ext)

 

2) Installed Kalyway to the osx_kalyway partition

3) Booted into Kalyway fine (network, dual monitor, sound all working fine)

4) Mounted an OSX 10.5.2 retail ISO and installed to the osx_retail partition

5) Installed OSX 10.5.6 Combo update to osx_retail

6) Downloaded and installed Chameleon 2.0RC1 to osx_retail

7) Rebooted the machine, but it goes right back into Kalyway

 

I'd like to know how to select the primary boot partition on a drive with multiple GUID partitions, if it's even possible. I've got experience using several disk utilities (GParted, Partition Magic, etc) and several bootloaders (Acronis, grub, etc), but I have very little experience with Macs.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks very much.

Are you pressing any key to halt Chameleon bootup countdown and bring up the list of bootable volumes.......?

I never see Chameleon's countdown. After my BIOS has loaded I get a blinking cursor in the upper left corner for several seconds followed by the Darwin/x86 load screen (which installs with Kalyway I think). Then Kalyway boots by default.
