That wasn't clear to me, thank you.
I usually run only Ubuntu on my MacBook. I still have the OS X DVD lying
around. I will try installing that, doing that bless thing, and an
Ubuntu reinstall. Using the same image I used before.
Is there a specific Mac Ubuntu image I should be using instead?
You can install osx on a usb flash drive, assuming that it has enough
space. That will save you from another ubuntu reinstall.
