Can this be used for OSX/UBUNTU (linux) ?

I have never tried it, maybe with rEFit, you can try it and post your results here.:D

just wanted to say that EFI work on ATA :)... the partition wasn't erased properly thats why i got those errors :D

A little question: I couldn't use the "unmount"ing when installing EFI (unknown function or similiar), so I skipped it. I can't execute the last command:

dd if=./guid/boot0 of=/dev/disk0 bs=400 count=1

It says: Ressource busy

crawle, Use the Disk Utility to unmount all Leo Partitions - for example if you have a partiton on a disk, don't only unmount the disk, but also the partition! Then execute the command again!

Kind Regards,
zenpath :)

thatīs the problem man!! :)

Try this

open a terminal before the last step "dd if=./guid/boot0 of=/dev/disk0 bs=400 count=1" unmount all the partitions, then again "umount -f /dev...."

So what should I do first? I think, I didn't understand you right, excuse me.

BTW: just "unmount -f ..." doesn't work. Only "diskutil unmount" works, but without the flag.

umount -f /dev/diskXsX

Not only umount -f, and not unmount -f, but exactly like written above! :)
