In chameleon, just start typing it. You will see it appear in the lower left hand corner.

It's also possible you have one of those computers not compat with Leopard. Check the HCL. The info you are giving doesn't explain it well enough to provide you with a solution.
Thanks for the tip
when booting with cpus=1 it stuck at apple logo but there is a circle moving forever

i tried also cpus=1 -x which helped me before to get leopard working when you didn't install a kext for the vga card but it didn't work either

my vga card is nvidia geforce gt130 ( same as 8800GT ) - maybe this is the reason it's not working ? because i onlt choosed Nvinject in the customization ?

always boot with -v flag, this gives verbose mode if you print what that stops at when you boot someone might be able to help. Also maybe you can skip installing Leopard & go straight to SL by using Empire EFI, worth a go.

when i give up i'll try empire efi ( i never heared about it )

But you've tried other things since that screenshot? Like I say ALWAYS use -v, that way we can have a clue what is causing the hang. I think the hanging at mac framework thing has to do with ACPI, using iPC I needed to choose ACPI fix to get past that on my board, I think, its been a while.
