I hate the still waiting for rood device error lol

After you install with nawcom do you boot with nawcom? You may still need to boot with nawcom until you get everything setup to boot with chameleon. So try booting with nawcom after you installed it.

Other boot commands you might have to try:
-f
-v
-force64
busration=xx
cpus=x
maxmem=4096
arch=i386

but you should be able to boot with the nawcom boot cd without any problems. I personally have to boot with -force64 but that's it. You may not even need a boot flag.
