try running gptsync.  Then installing lilo to partition / grub to partition
shoud work.

They are looking at FAT tables, not GPT, so you need to clone the data
from GPT to FAT, since parted will reset FAT (to the letter of EFI
spec).

see http://wiki.debian.org/MacBook, which seems to be the most
actively maintained out of all intel-mac related pages.  We should
probably start thinking about consolidating them.
