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.
