Install ubuntu on sdcard and boot from mac

September 7, 2011

Just in case I forget,

1) Partition sdcard into 2 partition, refit (~20mb) and ubuntu partition
2) Install ubuntu onto the ubuntu partition using vmware
*) might want to configure ubuntu from vmware. like on verbose boot screen so would not stuck at black screen for very long (boot from sd card can take time)
3) Put refit efi folder into refit partition, and run enable.sh
4) During bootup hold option and select Refit. Got 2 partition appear, but not sure whats the difference between the 2

Pain in the ass:
Alternate install requires you to press alt+f1 to show command prompt. like omg bbq >< wasted so much time on that
