My typo. It is sda.

I chose the "Multiuser" partitioning scheme in the installer. This is
how it arranges my second drive sdb:
#1 Apple
#2 boot (boot flag on)
#3 /
#4 /usr
#5 /var
#6 swap
#7 /tmp
#8 /home
Just for completeness, this is how the first drive sda (OSX) looks like:
#1 Apple
Free Space
#3 hfs+
Free Space

As I said before, if the "l" in the text boot menu would work I would be
a happy camper.
