If rEFInd works, you don't need to use bless to load an EFI stub kernel. Actually, you just need to get rEFInd working, and it should find your EFI stub kernel automatically. Make sure it's copied to the right partition (EFI, sda1) and called accordingly (based on the rEFInd documentation, it should start with 'vmlinuz' and end with '.efi'). Also make sure, that the refind_linux.conf file is in the same directory as the kernel, to pass boot arguments. I kept OSX installed on my MacBook, so I actually have no experience with rEFInd without an OSX partition. -- Marc Aurel Kastner Computer Science graduate student http://www.marc-kastner.com
