Chameleon Bootloader

Hi , sorry but I'm trying to install the Chameleon Bootloader from Linux : do you think it will be possible ?
The guide is for Apple , and I am just willing to ask you if those commands can be found on Linux : they said to use a fdisk ( the Apple version ) -f option that is

  -f mbrname
             Specifies an alternate MBR template file.

fdisk man page ( for the Apple version )
On linux that command is not the same , this is what the guide explain :

How to Install Chameleon Bootloader:
Assuming your Root disk is /dev/disk0s1
Step 1. Gain Root priveledges and navigate to Chameleon Directory
sudo -s
cd Desktop/Chameleon-2.0-RC4-r684-bin/i386
Step 2. Install boot0 to the MBR:
sudo fdisk -f boot0 -u -y /dev/rdisk0
Step 3. Install boot1h to the partition’s bootsector:
sudo dd if=boot1h of=/dev/rdisk0s1
Step 4. Install boot to the partition’s root directory:
sudo cp boot /

I am not meaning to use any Apple or similars , just want to try to install only this bootloader , that I know is nice to look ( image sample , but there are others versions , and I think is also configurable ) .
Thanks .

Re: Chameleon Bootloader

Not an Installation issue, moving to AUR Issues...
