got a problem to get the bootloader to work, this is what i did:

-new hdd, 3 partitions -> 1. sl // 2. storage (osx journaled) // 3.win7
-installed w7 on partition 3
-booted into my existing osx installation ans installed sl using the OSInstall.mpkg Method
on partition 1 ( did it like tony is his youtube video )
-rebooted with only the new hdd connected, booted into the new sl install with tonys p55
boot cd and finished the setup routine and made sl partition active
- reboot -> no bootloader
- booted again with the cd, installed the chameleon again with multibeast
- again no bootloader

what went wrong???
 
You'll need to wipe and start over, unfortunately. :( After formatting the drive GUID, and making all of your partitions (1 & 2 as Mac OS journaled, and 3 as NTFS), install Windows 7 on the third partition, then install Mac OS X on the first partition and run MultiBeast. If you do windows after already installing Mac OS X, it will overwrite the MBR on the disc and you won't be able to get Chameleon to boot.
 
won't matter if i have to start over, its raining anyways :)
but i did it as you described:
first w7 on 3, and then sl on 1... ?!
is the mpkg method maybe not working with the dual-boot install??
