No. You're thinking Intel architecture here. There's no LILO, no
Grub on a dual-boot Mac.
Old-world Macs have to partially boot into MacOS, then use
something called BootX to load the linux kernel. Because of
this, the kernel has to reside on the MacOS partition.
Weird, huh? This is all new to me. The last time I used a Mac
was well before Windoze 3.0 came out.
