try it out and let us know!
you can do it with any usb stick. just install boot think there, put your kexts/dsdt/boot.plist/smbios.plist and boot from it. no need to mess with your primary bootloader.

no no nooo!
both mac and win installers are for hacks - you can choose where to install BootThink from.
on a real mac you have the original BootCamp, no need for other bootloaders.

Original mac->refit

Zarac is right! If you install chameleon or boot think on an original mac,it will not be able to boot after that!
If you want to install a "similar" bootloader on an original mac you can try rEfit,which is a bootloader with lots of options for EFI-based machines. Chameleon/Boot Think are for BIOS-based machines,not for macs....

Tried with success in my PC (see sig.), only 10.5 for now. It boots perfectly Windows XP from other hard disk.

Putting AHCI or SATA extensions into /Darwin/System/Library/Extensions it can boot from Leopard DVD.

Both commands "# p=-" (hide non bootable partitions) and "# b=3" (timeout for default partition) work well.

Really nice, its on par with Chameleon now I think, unless I'm missing something.
They should really release the source code though, they havent released it yet I think...

Not that I'm aware of such function, but dsdt can hand GFX and it loads it fine.

On to my problem.

I can't install Boot Think from SL (USBkey with BootThink is used to boot SL) to SL hard drive's EFI partition. The option to install to EFI partition is disable even after deselecting Boot1 and Boot1h options as stated in the description of the installer. Anyone else have this issue?
