I am using a p55a-ud6 board and have gotten everything up and running but I can not get it to boot off of the hard drive. I have to use a disk to get me into chameleon then boot up. Any suggestions?

Are you dual booting ( is OSX is in another partition and windows in another partition for example ), then boot to windows ( the default ) and make the OSX paritition as the active partition ( you need to run diskpart.exe and can't do it via the GUI ) and reboot

If the only OS on that system is OSX then follow the doc in Chameleon replace the /dev/disk0s2 with your partitioning scheme ( hint run diskutils list in a terminal session in OSX )

Code:

 
Normal Install 
  
  Suppose that your installation is on /dev/disk0s2
  
   - Install boot0 to the MBR:
   		sudo fdisk -f boot0 -u -y /dev/rdisk0
  
   - Install boot1h to the partition's bootsector:
  		sudo dd if=boot1h of=/dev/rdisk0s2
  
   - Install boot to the partition's root directory:
  		sudo cp boot /
