@ gmow - When you say "system won't boot up by itself, you need to inset the iDened DVD into the DVD drive, then it can boot up" this is pretty characteristic of a bootloader problem. It doesn't mean you did something intentionally wrong, or even that it was your fault at all. When installing OS X, the Install DVD needs complete access to the HD you are installing to in order for it to finalize the script for the drive to boot when called upon. This is what the bootloader is.

So from the sound of it, If you need the DVD to initialize your drive before you can access it, just install Chameleon once you've booted into OS X and on the next boot you shouldn't need the DVD in the drive anymore.
