Dual booting with internal and external (USB) drives

I have successfully installed iATKOS v7 S3 on a USB drive attached to my Dell XPS m1330 notebook. Runs super - everthing works except for wired ethernet (no big deal currently). The internal hard drive has Kubuntu 10.10 using burg for the boot menu. Running "sudo update-burg" finds the Hackintosh drive, as long as it's attached, and adds both a 32bit and 64bit Hackintosh option to the burg boot menu. The trouble is, when I choose to boot to OSX, the activity indicator on the USB drive flashes once and the the boot menu locks up. I thought I might have better success If there was a way to add the option to boot linux from the internal hard drive to the Hackintosh boot menu. Most posts I've read on dual booting have been for systems in which the internal hard drive is partitioned for separate OSs. Obviously, that is not the path I've chosen. I was wondering if anyone else has a similar setup to mine and has solved the problem. TIA
