On my GPT-partitioned MacBook, I seem to have two options for booting with grub-pc:
1. Install grub to the start of an existing partition. This coexists well with the rEFIt boot menu, but requires blocklists to load core.img. 2. Use a BIOS boot partition. This allows embedding core.img, but installs to the MBR and makes rEFIt unhappy. I had the idea that we could get the advantages of both: Install the boot-image to an existing partition, but load core.img from a BIOS boot partition. With some creative hex-editing I got this working without much difficulty. Is there a technical reason why grub doesn't support this setup? If I were to write a patch allowing this, what behaviour would be preferred: Should 'grub-setup (hdX,Y)' automatically use a BIOS boot partition if one exists, or should a command-line flag be required?
