While Intel Macs are EFI platforms, they have an early and quirky
implementation that cannot properly boot Windows in EFI mode
I hope you are not right for the latest MAC Mini, I would like to buy.

Thanks Andrea. I had though that the MBR was automatically mapped to
the the first 4 gpt partitions because that's they way it's always been
on my system. So now I wonder how it's been set that way, because I
know i've never touched gpt-fdisk and I didn't use bootcamp. Maybe the

The real problem is that while rEFIt/rEFInd, OSX and Linux have no
problem dealing with a GPT partition table, Windows only supports MBR.
(Windows 7+ supports GPT partition tables but it can only boot from a
GPT disk in EFI mode.
So, let us assume we have in the game:
Windows 7 Ultimate
Okay, I meanwhile got that even the most new Mac Mini Servers make use
of the earliest implementations of EFI that Windows doesn't understand.
The only way to get Windows booted propperly is in BIOS emulation mode,
but that Partitions wouldn't be recognized (according it's emulation).

Windows will not use the GPT table. This is a really stupid Windows
limitation, but we can't do anything about it.
hm
The Linux kernel can use GPT with no restrictions, however booting is
another story.

Hi Yuri,
If the MAC Mini has a UEFI Bios, then the whole problem we have talked
about was for nothing.
That is only related to 32 Bit Versions of Windows.
x64 Windows 7 Version comes with a UEFI Bootloader and an installer,
that can be used.
We can't have more then 4 primary partitions on a hard disk.
Gentoo needs 2 partitions, /boot and a Virtual partition (that count's
as well as one primary) with all the other folders.
Windows will create 2. and Mac OSX minimum 1, am I right?!
Your Windows partitions have to be in the first

Hi!
My questions:
1. Do I need bootcamp?!
2. Why am I not able to accomplish this task with grubm and have to take
refind ?
3. What would be the way to install Windows, Linux and Mac on 1 hard
disk. Would that be possible?
I would kindly thank you for your answer.

You don't need bootcamp, but it does make the windows install more
streamlined. You will probably still want bootcamp to install the apple
drivers post-install regardless. The drivers are
Seems to be that GRUB2 auto detects Snow Leopard partitions.
So you are right, installing Mac OS X, then windows, then Linux with Grub2:
