Installing Ubuntu How can I use the Darwin Bootloader and Mac as default?

[iSIKH]

I have Vista and Mac installed on my PC...Mac is primary and Darwin bootloader is default...I want to install ubuntu linux 8.10 but I want to keep Mac OSX and the Darwin Boot loader as default how can I do this?

The easiest is to take GRUB: install Ubuntu... Then boot into Ubuntu and configure your grub adding 1 line for your macos install...

sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst

 

then you add this lines at the end

title OSX86

 

root (hd0,0) " Replace with your Partition of OSX "

 

chainloader +1

 

for more info you could have a look into this http://insanelymac.blogspot.com/2008/09/ho...-grub-boot.html

What do u mean by this

root (hd0,0) " Replace with your Partition of OSX "

also place these lines at the end of what?

(hd0,0) means your os x partition...linux understands your hds by numbers, hd0 is drive number 1, hd1 is driver number 2, etc and the partitions are the second number, so hd0,0 is driver number 1 AND parition number 1. So for example, i have my os x parition on hd1,1 meaning driver number 2 and partition number 2 (because of the efi partition i suppose). so what iSIKH means to type "root (hd0,0)" with your corresponding driver number and partion number.
