You will need to choose a distribution, cause vanilla Mac won't run on MBR. Use linux fdisk and make a partition with type AF. Then you can use the disc utility to format that from the install disc. Grub can boot Mac, but you need to use chainloader +1 and makeactive cause Mac wants to be the active partition. This is fine since neither Windows nor Linux really care. I suggest the newest version of XxX you can find. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/157289-trippleboot/#findComment-1105892 Share on other sites More sharing options...
