Mac OS is a mystery to me, but I believe it is UNIX based. dd looks like
a decent command to use.

And it installed. So that part is ok. Progress.

Pass on why you should get this. efi is something else I know nothing
about.

One of those partitions should have the files vmlinuz and initrd.img
on it. Look at the contents of each partition with 'ls (hd0.gpt1)/',
'ls (hd0.gpt2)/' etc to find them. Then at the prompt (if the partition
is (hd0.gpt1):

set root=(hd0.gpt1)
linux vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1
initrd initrd.img
boot

/dev/sda1 becomes /dev/sda2 if the partition is (hd0.gpt2).

If that works it should be easy for us to go from there.
