== Preparation == * Resize your main OS X partition using the disk utility to free up space.* Install the [http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/ refind boot manager] from OS X using the <code>bless</code> utility. == Notes == Generation 2,1 macbooks have a 32-bit EFI. You'll need to install a 32-bit refind, 32-bit grub, 32-bit kernel, and 32-bit userspace. == Installation == Pop in a live CD or other installation media. From there, install grub2-efi to the EFI partition at EFI/grub. It will be the VFAT/FAT32 partition with a relatively low partition number. Be careful ''not'' to install grub to the MBR. Also install your kernel and userspace as usual, using the free space you made with the OS X partition manager.
