One partition for the bootloader and one for Leopard. Ideally, the bootloader partition should be about 200MB, but Disk Utility seems to have a problem making partitions that small.. so, make it as small as you can.
When done, close disk utility, and proceed with the install, obviously installing Leopard on the Leopard partition, NOT the bootloader drive.

I think you've gone somewhere wrong in your guide. When formatting a drive GUID, it automatically creates a hidden EFI 200mb partition by default which you can only mount using terminal, so there's no need for this step. Using the Chameleon installer you can choose to install to the hidden partition within the options.
Once done you can mount the hidden partition using
Code:
sudo mkdir /Volumes/EFI
sudo mount_hfs /dev/diskXsY /Volumes/EFI
killall Finder
Where X is the disk number and Y the partition. Also when using chameleon package installer there is no need for the fdisk step either.
