Finally, there’s an open source bootloader for Intel Macintoshes. Now you can install three versions of Windows, five different Linuxes, a BSD port and still be able to choose between them at startup. It’s an open source project called “rEFIt” (Intel Mac BIOS is called EFI, so “refit” — “rEFIt”, get it?). If you’re just interested in how an Intel Mac boots and what you’d need to use other OS’s, the rEFIt project has a very informative page on myths and facts about booting Intel Macs.
