I daresay this is not Mac-specific. I had the same thing on a Sony Vaio.
Perhaps worth nothing I was using an existing /home partition.
As Chad said, no grub.cfg was created. I installed GRUB using a Natty LiveUSB, but still didn't get the config file. Running update-grub in the live environment threw other errors, which I believe were a separate bug. Further compounding the issue is the fact that no one will tell you how to make your own grub.cfg, since update-grub is supposed to do it automatically. I finally managed to find an example on the forums that I used to improvise a file which allowed me to boot. Once inside the installed Natty, update-grub worked as expected.
