Bug Description
Find a way to do a native EFI boot, so a Grub doesn't have to write a MBR (use GPT instead)
so there will be no delay of ~20 sec, when linux is used on an intel mac without osx or refit installed
graphics don't work with elilo (needs BIOS emulation)
also would give the possibility to do a triple boot on intel macs

I just got my new MBP and although i got gusty to install---when i tried creating more partitions and install more versions ran into a problem where none of my linux installs would work. when i launched gparted and deleted partition 4 and 5 then gusty would boot again. This issue of MBR for some and gpt for others is stupid. Just make Ubuntu use efi/gpt please. I bought the MBP for the hardware mainly and to see what leopard is about. at this point it appears that gusty is better than leopard from a convenience and usability standpoint.
