Voytek,

I'm not a Mac guy, but I think you will find that Bootcamp doesn't
allow you to run Windows on MacOS but rather allows you to boot into
Windows installed on a separate partition on your Intel-based Mac - a
subtle but important difference. (That is, Bootcamp is akin to GRUB or
LILO for Linux).

I think you will need something like Parallels or Vmware Fusion to run
Windows in a virtual machine while running MacOS on your Mac host
machine.
