Hi,
I have this:
SSD0 -> Windows 7
SSD1 -> MacOSX Lion

I have installed MultiBeast 4.3 and after Chimera 1.9 on SSD1 (MacOSX drive).
I can boot Windows and MacOSX, but selecting the boot order from BIOS.
When I boot from my USB Lion I can see Lion and Windows OS to boot.
But when I boot from SSD1 I bot MacOSX without prompt which OS to boot, the same if I boot from SSD0.
How can I make a dual boot to choose which OS boot on startup?
Thanks
 
You have to use the Instant Menu kext in MB to choose which OS to boot into.

Have you followed the dual boot guide within the blog resources?
I didnt follow the boot guide within the blog becuase it says Snow Lepoard, and I have Lion. And I thought that MultiBeast should do this authomatically, but dont.
Does this guide works for Lion installation?

You can also hit the space bar to stop it from loading and then choose which OS.

Thank you!! It worked!

By the way, is posible to configure thi "Instant Menu" to boot a default OS after some seconds?
 
Ops, I was too quick. Not everything worked.
I could install the Instan Menu, so when I boot the computer I am prompted which OS select: MacOSX or Windows.
If I select MacOSX is ok, but if I select Windows I get this error and dont boot:
"Missing bootmgr".
To boot windows I have to change BIOS boot priority.
Any idea why is not booting Windows?
Thanks
 
I found it:
I have to boot the windows "reserved partition" and not the windows partition. ;)
Anybody knows how to boot a default OS after some seconds?
Thanks

Edit org.chameleon.boot.plist and remove the instant menu key
set the timeout key for however many seconds you want it to wait before booting default OS
