I feel like such a noob. Well, I am in this regard.
I try to do a vanilla OS X install on a Netbook with a 1024x600 screen.
I installed Chameleon 2.0 RC1 on a USB stick. When I'd then try to boot the Instal DVD, the OS X Installer screen shows up with 1024x768, making parts of it invisible on the small Netbook screen. This effect has been described 100s of times on the net already.
So I thought I could simply edit the Boot.plist like this:
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>"Graphics Mode"="1024x600x32@60"</string>
But then the boot soon results in a restart of the loader.
And when I instead use:
<string>"Graphics Mode"="1024x600"</string>
Then the theme picture adjusts itself, but the actually used screen size remains 1024x768.
Where/how can I set the screen size permanently?

Uh, actually, this works:
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>"Graphics Mode"="1024x600x32"</string>
So the thing crashed because I added the optional refresh parameter.

I somehow missed this question, I gotta get the faq guides ready, the refresh param part has been bugging people for a long time (it's also answered here in a few threads)
For clarity's shake, chameleon-wise all options/params that you want to keep permanent go to your /Extra/com.apple.Boot.plist
