Chameleon and OS X Yosemite!

For those of you have have a developers account and can test out OS X Yosemite 10.10 this is great new for you. Previously we were only able to install Yosemite with a Clover Bootloader, but now for those who are more familiar with Chameleon you can now give it a try really quiet simply. 

Thanks to the CHAMELEON  Team and big big Thanks to oldnapalm  FOR  the right  Boot flag and boot file.

  Thanks to Pike R. Alpha for the work again
