Hi, i really need some help... i was installing chamaleon on an external drive yesterday but i really messed up
thing ending with installing chamaleon on my iMac internal drive. Now rebooting the iMac i'm no more able to
do anythin.. can't boot from DVD, can't have startup drive choose. I have PRAM reset available but didn't helped
i have tried to put system in target disk mode mount it in another mac and remove partition / format / install osx
but again it won't boot anymore.

I just did this...   I ended up reformatting the drive and reinstalling, then restoring my time machine back up. U can try and fix it with refit rEFIt   search google.    your partitions are probably fine.. u just messed up your bootloader ,mbr, whatever its called. Thats why nothings working, it boots before everything else and thats why you cant do much.  I was still able to load from my SL DVD and reformat.  Be paitient and good luck
