The only thing that I can think of that might make the script slightly better was if you used &device; for \grub, because this should default to the current partition (where stage1 is on), and this is presumably where GRUB is as well... I.e., the line stating with ": bootgrub" would look like this: : bootgrub " Loading GRUB..." .printf 100 ms load-base release-load-area " &device;,\grub" $boot ; I'll definitely use this when I get around to installing Linux on my Clamshell...
Thanks! I've got a final script attached that takes that into account, and now all you'd need to modify is which partition OS X is on, unless it's different than 3 which is the most common one I saw. I also added a nice Debian logo to the badge shown in the OS picker. All you have to do after installing Debian alongside OS X is replace /boot/grub/System/Library/CoreServices/BootX with this file, rebless it if needed, and now you have an easy dual-boot solution! -- Ben Westover
