If rEFInd works, you don't need to use bless to load an EFI stub kernel.

Hi!
My questions:
1. Do I need bootcamp?!
2. Why am I not able to accomplish this task with grubm and have to take
"refind" ?
3. What would be the way to install Windows, Linux and Mac on 1 hard

I would kindly thank you for your answer.

2. Build and install rEFInd and point the EFI to that.
If you have a kernel problem step 1 above may fix it. If not, step 1 will
prove you can boot from the EFI partition (if only by just launching the
rEFInd boot manager menu). Then you can make

I would recommend Fedora - they provide signatures for their releases.
e using gummiboot, you need to have a large EFI system
partition on which to store kernels.
But if you're using grub or refind, you only need to have a small FAT
partition for efi executables.
On my Ubuntu laptop:
# du -sh /boot/efi
3.4M /boot/efi
and like it, but it has a downside: your
kernel has to be on a FAT filesystem and you therefore have to account
for that when setting the size of the ESP.
I've been meaning to try refind because it's a also a boot manager but
it can handle non-FAT filesystems.

I had Gentoo on a Macbook before. I used rEFInd to do it, but recent
kernels with proper EFI configuration should also work. But no
guarantees...
Also, it's not enough to just say "MacBook". There are several
sub-models of that with different chipsets, GPU, etc. I had it wor

After some additional studying of UEFI and boot managers
-boot with UEFI. In practice it's
just like the fight over who owns the MBR and the DOS disklable gap.
One recipe I read about for doing what I wanted to do with UEFI
involved installing a Linux distro (didn't really matter which), then
installing rEFInd. After that, some manual renaming

You do? I just modified my kernel build and install script to generate a
suitable loader entry. If you want configuration-free UEFI, try ReFind.

You may also want to consider using something other than GRUB for EFI

is already included with systemd) or reFind.
