Hmm, I first installed grub from the repository and then did a
grub-install --no-floppy to (in my case) hd(0,3) which worked
perfectly fine with my 2008 MBP. Refit correctly identifies the Linux
partition and when it has done its thing it drops me into GRUB, and of
course from there into the operating system. Perhaps I'm using the
terminology wrong, sorry for the confusion!
