This is a problem in Linux as you may want a swap partition. The downside of installing to a MBR type partition is that you effectively limit your system to a maximum of 4 partitions (as MBR cannot handle more than 4). Obviously this setup worked for my Apple hardware but until you try it you won't know if it works on yours. This is handy if you want to introduce boot parameters.

If required you can install grub later to the Ubuntu root partition using the Boot-Repair utility. This will allow Ubuntu to appear in the Alt + boot menu and to boot from the EFI stub loader.

You also need to copy the ext4fs driver from the refind/drivers_ењ†4 (if you're using 64 bit) directory in the refind package to a self-created 'drivers' folder in the main refind installation directory.

However for that to boot you would need to install refind in OSX first.

Ubuntu can boot in BIOS or UEFI mode from gpt partitioned drives. That monstrosity was because Windows would only boot in BIOS from from MBR drives and UEFI did not work with Windows. Unless you also want Windows do not create the hybrid MBR/gpt drive. Last edited by Quackers January 30th, 2014 at 04:25 PM. Grub-EFI now exists though I have not used it, so can't comment on that.ДЄs you can see, not a simple question you're asking. Grub cannot be installed in the normal way unless an MBR type drive is used which is not normally the case on a Mac (unless Bootcamped, but that brings up a whole new set of problems). I have no first hand experience of this but I would assume that if you install grub in the Ubuntu's root partition then Ubuntu won't even be a choice in a Mac's boot menu (unless installed in EFI). In such circumstances Ubuntu will boot by using the EFI stub using something like refind (if you install the correct refind driver in the correct place). You can install Ubuntu without any grub installation at all if using EFI (by using the terminal command ubiquity -b to install). Your question sounds a simple one, but it is far from simple!
