Comment 22 for bug 158166

Well, that would be me...

I just installed Hardy Alpha4 on an original CD MacBook upgraded with the above Samsung 160GB
HD, in a dual-boot arrangement with Mac OS X (10.4.11), using the desktop distro. Using DiskUtil
in Mac OS X, I had left a 30GB Unix partition on the drive as a placeholder for GNU/Linux. The Hardy
installer recognized the drive OK, I selected manual partitioning and then (a) deleted the placeholder
partition and (b) made a JFS root (/) partition /dev/sda3 and a swap partition /dev/sda4. A little later
I confirmed that GRUB be installed to the MBR of (hd0), and upon rebooting there was a GNU/Linux
boot option in the rEFIt menu. After synching GPT and the MBR partition table, Hardy could be started
without any problem whatsoever. Love that cracked-leather-couch look!
