Re: Triple boot, Bootcamp, rEFIt and X11 on Macbook Pro

Hello Tino,

thanks for your answer.

Yes, right. This is the problem.

I have now 5 partitions:

   sda1: the hidden partition used by bootcamp (If I have understand
         correctly),
   sda2: the MacOS X partition,
   sda3: the linux swamp partition,
   sda4: the Windows partiton,
   sda5: the Linux partition.

Do you mean I need to create a new partition ? I have try to install
lilo on sda5, but this don't seems to work. When running lilo, it has
says:

    Warning: partition type 0xFF on device 0x0805 is a dangerous place
    for a boot sector.
    I will assume that you know what you're doing and I will proceed.

After that, booting give me 4 "OS" icons at boot: Mac OS X, Linux,
Windows and another Linux. The first Linux always use elilo (maybe I
need to remove the elilo.conf). The last Linux is strange, because it
starts Windows.

So, what to do ? re-partition the disk, and make a FAT partition for the
boot ? And install lilo on it ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

        Olivier
