I have MacBook here :-) FYI: * Even for lenny d-i as I checked just before release Normal MBR system (amd64/i386): grub (GRUB 1) MacBook EFI system (amd64/i386): grub-pc (GRUB 2) * squeeze d-i Both are grub-pc (GRUB 2). Early lenny testing d-i chose grub (GRUB 1) and I had to chose manually lilo to get it installed and going.
