I chose the first small partition (approx 200MB) to put it on, so sda1. Pissedoffdude, yes I chose to put the Linux boot loader on sda as this was the only device hooked up (the internal hd).

I've read lots of forum posts and played with utilities but I haven't had luck with finding the particular solution i'm after. I've spent two days trying things and made things worse, but managed to get back to square 1 (or -1). Somebody please be kind enough to guide a novice. So I say, 'OK, go for it.'Īnd here I am, unable to get back into OS X. I was plainly told by the 'warning' message that this might cause trouble loading up OS X but any issues could easily be reverted in grub in the future.

In short, from what I've understood, I allowed the installer to write the linux boot loader (I think it's Grub, right?) over the OS X boot loader (EFI with its own small partition, correct?). I can't remember the details, but on 'automatic' mode the installer kept halting at this boot loader step. Except that, during installation I had some difficulty getting past the stage of setting up the linux boot loader. The installation from CD worked fine, Ubuntu loads up nicely. I downloaded Ubuntu 12.04 (version for 64bit intel-mac) and burnt the ISO on a CD Disc Utility. I created a roughtly-100GB partition on my 1TB internal hard drive to install Linux to.
