You don't need bootcamp, but it does make the windows install more |
| 9 |
streamlined. You will probably still want bootcamp to install the apple |
| 10 |
drivers post-install regardless. The drivers are the OS X install dvd. |

I have never had any luck getting grub to boot OS X. It might be |
| 16 |
possible for grub to load refit/refind, but I've not tried this. |

Yes, there are several ways to do this. If I remember right, here's how |
| 22 |
I did it. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
1) Partition the disk from the OS X install dvd using the gpt partition |
| 25 |
table, then install OS X. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
2) Boot into OS X and install refit or refind. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
3) Install Windows. Refit should recognize the windows install dvd, if |
| 30 |
it doesn't, restart with the option key held down. Make sure to install |
| 31 |
windows to one of the first three partitions. After the install if you |
| 32 |
have trouble booting you may have to reinstall refit. Just use the |
| 33 |
option key to select your boot partition. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
4) Install linux. I used grub 1 as the linux bootloader, installed to |
| 36 |
the linux boot partition so that it wouldn't mess with refit. |
