I've recently tried to triple boot OS X (Leo), OS X (Tiger) and Windows on my 400 GB IDE Drive using the Chameleon bootloader. Say, I'm running OS X and use Disk Util to shrink my current partition and make another partity on the HDD. When rebooting, a message appears reading something like:

EBIOS Read Error  0x01

after about 5 of these errors, I am into the Bootloader, but as soon as I go to change the boot partition (or some would recongnize it as the F8 Prompt), EBIOS Read Error 0x01 for ANOTHER 5 times and reverts to the default partition. With 1 Partition, it's fine. With 2+, EBIOS Errors. I have checked the Jumpers and the HDD has to be set to "Limit Drive Capacity to 32 GB" or with any other setting, the BIOS does not detect the HDD and I would be completely stuffed.
