Dual boot with OS X and Wheezy.

[Ed Jabbour <ejbr@att.net>]

Trying to dual boot OSX and Wheezy on a late 2008 Macbook running 
Mountain Lion.  Following steps found on the web, I first created an 
empty partition using OSX's Disk Utility - 80 GB for OSX and 80GB free 
for Wheezy.  However, when I reached the partitioning step in the 
Wheezy install, it id'd the free space as 113GB, which is the 
remaining space on the entire disk.  In other words, it seems that 
Wheezy is not recognizing the OSX partitioning structure.  I'm afraid 
that if I simply partition that 113GB space, I will have messed up the 
partition structure for OSX.

I hope I'm making sense here.  Any pointers, steps, hints, greatly 
appreciated.
