Cant boot 32 bit automatically
I cant boot 32 bit without typing ARCH=i386 at the chameleon prompt. I edited the apple boot file but it ignores it can you show me SPECIFICALLY how it should look in the boot file?

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!

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.
