I want to install Chamelon as my primary bootloader. How can I install it ? or adding entry to Windows 7 bootloader is also workable ? Please advise .

I think farhanito's link is good. I also enjoyed this guide because it breaks down some of what goes on during the boot, and where stuff comes from / should be moved to:

Thanks both. I'll first try the Installer first ( i worried my typo in Terminal will mess up the situation )

I tried the installer . It is good that automatically installs the bootloader for me. I changed the HDD drive boot order and Chamelon loads successfully ( with a bit graphics distortion ) . However , when I select Mac OS X , it loads a while , and a Halt & Restart needed message pops up. It didn't work.

 

What should I do to figure out what's going on ?

I used verbose mode in chamelon ( -v option ) . Here is the panic screen attached . Anyone can help ?
