Tony has a guide. Well it's a guide on installing two OS on one hard drive.

but the first paragraph is about seperate hard drive for the OS.
"Using Chameleon as your bootloader, you can boot an infinite amount of operating systems on your PC. It's simple to use a separate hard drive for each operating system.

1. Install multiple operating systems on separate hard drives.
2. Go to CMOS Setup Utility and choose Advanced BIOS Features.
3. Select Hard Disk Boot Priority.
4. Move your Chameleon OS X hard drive to top of list.
5. Boot into Chameleon and choose your Operating System."

At OS X desktop, launch MultiBeast and install chameleon bootloader again. Repair permissions, rebuild caches with system utilities in MultiBeast or by hand and reboot.
If you select Instant Menu from the customization section of MultiBeast the boot will stop at the chameleon screen to give you a choice of which OS to boot instead of booting OS X by default.
