Bootcamp *isn't* what makes it so that you can dual-boot a Mac.  The
initial release of BootCamp included two things:
1) A utility to resize your HFS partition to make room for another OS.
This isn't available anymore, so you have to either reinstall with a
smaller partition or use something else to resize (hfsresize may work)
2) A firmware update to enable the legacy BIOS bits.  This is the actual
important and interesting part -- and it's still available
