I follow the install tsuggestions for 3ple boot on a VAIO VGN-T27

 

My steps

 

1 OSX 10.4.1 Disk Utils to create 5 partitions (hfsplus, Fat32, LinixSwap. Linux)

 

2 Succesfully Install OSX first partition and Reboot

 

3Succesfully Install XP second 0partition and Reboot

 

4 Install Ubuntu (swap part 3, linux partition4)

 

Reboot

 

Ubuntu sees Windos as an alternative operating system but not MACOSX

Also both MACOSX and the Windows partitions do not appear in the Ubuntu desktop

 

Question 1 How to be able to boot with OSX after this process?

 

Question 2 HOw to see htfplus and fat32 partitions on the Ubuntu desktop?

 

Using Ubuntu->System->Administration->Disks

 

It see partition 1 but it does not recognize the hfsplusn filesystem, The Mac partition appears unformatted and unavailable, While Windows is there.

 

Using this utility I -created the two files

media/winx

media/mac

 

rebooted but still no success

 

I am stuck - however I do need all system if possible. Any hints)

read the 'OSx86 Support' part of this guide I made here: http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?showtopic=17348

 

its for suse, but this part is the same for Ubuntu.

 

for mounting the fat partition on boot, add to the fstab:

/dev/hda1  /media/fat32 vfat  iocharset=utf8,umask=000  0	0

 

'hda1' being your correct partition ofcourse.
