Synaesthesia Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Grub should still be there, just reconfigure it for your new os x partition. Yes, OS X comes with a bootloader, called the darwin bootloader. edit boot.plist to configure it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synaesthesia Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 In my experience, no. Grub always loads first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lord_muad_dib Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 it depends if grub is installed in mbr or not if grub gets replaced just reinstall it using your distro's install cd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
