You don't need bootcamp, but it does make the windows install more streamlined. You will probably still want bootcamp to install the apple drivers post-install regardless. The drivers are the OS X install dvd. > 2. Why am I not able to accomplish this task with grubm and have to take > "refind" ? I have never had any luck getting grub to boot OS X. It might be possible for grub to load refit/refind, but I've not tried this. > 3. What would be the way to install Windows, Linux and Mac on 1 hard > disk. Would that be possible? Yes, there are several ways to do this. If I remember right, here's how I did it. 1) Partition the disk from the OS X install dvd using the gpt partition table, then install OS X. 2) Boot into OS X and install refit or refind. 3) Install Windows. Refit should recognize the windows install dvd, if it doesn't, restart with the option key held down. Make sure to install windows to one of the first three partitions. After the install if you have trouble booting you may have to reinstall refit. Just use the option key to select your boot partition. 4) Install linux. I used grub 1 as the linux bootloader, installed to the linux boot partition so that it wouldn't mess with refit.
