Do you mean http://refit.sourceforge.net/ ? You can't install EFI, it's already on the machine like BIOS was on old hardware. > There's a Wiki article about Intel Macs, but it talks about custom > kernels and I don't want to go there.

Install the MacOS. 2. Use BootCamp to downsize the Mac Partition or use the disk utility. 3. Install rEFIt on the Mac. Don't forget to run enable-always.sh. 4. Boot, choose the rEFIt partitioning tool, sync the MBR. 5. Insert the CD, reboot, press C. 6. Install Debian with kernel options 'nomodeset reboot=pci'. 7. Install Grub as proposed. 8. Finish the installation. 9. Reboot, choose the rEFIT partitioning tool, sync the MBR. 10. Reboot, pick whatever you want as OS in rEFIt. If you like, define the default OS in the refit conf file under MacOS. HTH, ändu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
