Well, that would be me...

I just installed Hardy Alpha4 on an original CD MacBook upgraded with the above 
Samsung 160GB 
HD, in a dual-boot arrangement with Mac OS X (10.4.11),  using the desktop 
distro. Using DiskUtil
in Mac OS X, I had left a 30GB Unix partition on the drive as a placeholder for 
GNU/Linux. The Hardy 
installer recognized the drive OK, I selected manual partitioning and then (a) 
deleted the placeholder
partition and (b) made a JFS root (/) partition /dev/sda3 and a swap partition 
/dev/sda4. A little later 
I confirmed that GRUB be installed to the MBR of (hd0), and upon rebooting 
there was a GNU/Linux 
boot option in the rEFIt menu. After synching GPT and the MBR partition table, 
Hardy could be started 
without any problem whatsoever. Love that cracked-leather-couch look!
