If you are a dual boot OSX/Debian user, what boot manager do you use? I've heard that OSX makes some low-level filesystem changes on upgrades, so wondering what are some good options. Thanks, Eric Andrew Lewis ericandrewlewis.com +1 610 715 8560

Remember, apple starts partition numbers at 0 (zero). There used be a facility rEFIt that did a reasonable job, but I found it only made a slow boot process even slower. If you want to multiple boot, put grub on the blessed partition on your next install. I needed the space osx was using some years ago, so no longer dual boot, hence my haziness.

Thanks for your notes! > If you want to multiple boot, put grub on the blessed partition on your next install. I found that this is the default behavior after install, so perhaps after Debian installs Grub, it interacts with the system's firmware to use GRUB as a boot manager. And you can always boot into OS X by holding option as you mentioned.
