Thanks a lot for your tip. I succedded to install the Etch Beta-3 using the
following steps.
- Using Apples Diskutility I wiped the whole startup disk and created 4
partitions.
- Installed MacOSX on the first parition
- Installed refit 0.7
- Used Etch Beta-3 (nothing special, installing into /dev/sda3). Instead
of "Install the GRUB" I switched to console, and entered the following
commands
$ chroot /target apt-get install refit
$ /target/sbin/gptsync /dev/sda
$ chroot /target
$ lilo /dev/sda3
(ignoring some warnings from lilo)
After this the installation continued fine, and I have no a running Debian
system.
Best regards
