Chameleon is a boot loader built using a combination of components which evolved from the development of David Elliott's fake EFI implementation added to Apple's boot-132 project.


Chameleon v2 is extended with many features. For example:


- Fully customizable GUI to bring some color to the Darwin Bootloader.

- Load a ramdisk to directly boot retail DVDs without additional programs.

- Hibernation. Enjoy resuming your Mac OS X with a preview image.

- SMBIOS override to modify the factory SMBIOS values.

- DSDT override to use a modified fixed DSDT which can solve several issues.

- Device Property Injection via device-properties string.

- hybrid boot0 / boot1h for MBR and GPT partitioned disks.

- Automatic FSB detection code even for recent AMD CPUs.

- Apple Software RAID support.

- Nvidia & ATI/AMD Graphics Card Enabler.

- Module support

- Memory detection adapted from memtest86: http://www.memtest.org

- Automatic P-State & C-State generation for native power management.

- Message logging.


The code is released under version 2 of the Gnu Public License.
