Hi
I cant boot 32 bit without typing ARCH=i386 at the chameleon prompt.

I edited the apple boot file but it ignores it

any ideas?

can you show me SPECIFICALLY how it should look in the boot file?

it should look like this

<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>arch=i386</string>

and if you have one in /extra, make sure you edit that one.

Hi
Thanks, yeah that's all ive read in teh faq's, readme files, forums, Chameleons blog etc. etc.

However, Ive resolved it - Ive installed osx so many times, with different bootloaders I had a copy of chameleon on two partitions - I edited the boot file for the windows partition and pointed it to the other partition and it worked! Finally!
