OSx86 only boots with disk in DVD drive

So I installed Idneb 1.6 and it boots up fine. The only problem is it only boots if my install DVD is in my DVD drive…Otherwise it won't boot at all. I just get a black screen if I boot from the HD.

Really?

All right. I disabled chameleon before I installed it. I'll try keeping it this time. Thanks =)
EDIT: It worked thank you so much =)

Easiest fix is probably to download cameleon and install it.
