Out of curiosity, has anyone done this with bootcamp? I have refit installed, so I press m for mac or w for windows when I push the power button. Should I press m after each reboot, or just leave it alone? I've managed to update to 10.7.2, .3, and .4 okay, but I've never done a full OS upgrade (my mini came with Lion).
