Good question- you could use a Chameleon boot file that doesn't have an embedded theme. If you install RC4 from MultiBeast, it will have no gui by default- there's no embedded theme. Then if you want a gui, you can always put a theme in your /Extra folder.

Another way to do it would be to put this in your com.apple.boot.plist

<key>Timeout</key>
<string>0</string>
<key>GUI</key>
<string>No</string>

Let me know how it works.

Here is my test result:

using '0' for 'Timeout' is the same as pressing a key during the loader is waiting for timeout, the loader is now waiting for input

using '-1' skips the timeout and loads (the default partition) immediately

However, you see (shortly) the loader (GUI or text) on the screen.

Check the Chameleon Docs- I've summarized some of the commands here, or you can download and look into the Docs folder in any Chameleon source or binary.
