The installer creates the necassary initrd and leaves in /boot, but you
generally boot from BootX on the MacOS side.  The initrd on the CD only
contains modules for access to common OldWorld SCSI devices, not the
journalled filesystems, so you'll experience a panic at boot when the
kernel can't mount root.

So unless you're equipped to be able to retrieve the initrd from the Linux
side and move it over to MacOS (HFS transfer partition or network?),
you'll have a bit of a problem.
