I succedded to install the Etch Beta-3 using the following steps. - Using Apples Diskutility I wiped the whole startup disk and created 4 partitions. - Installed MacOSX on the first parition - Installed refit 0.7 - Used Etch Beta-3 (nothing special, installing into /dev/sda3). Instead of "Install the GRUB" I switched to console, and entered the following commands $ chroot /target apt-get install refit $ /target/sbin/gptsync /dev/sda $ chroot /target $ lilo /dev/sda3 (ignoring some warnings from lilo) After this the installation continued fine, and I have no a running Debian system.
