In the days of PowerPC it was easy as Apple used Open Firmware. You could run MacOS in MoL (Mac on Linux).
Intel Mac's use Intel's EFI (Effectively Fscked Itanic) firmware.
Playing with EFI is bad for you sanity.
Playing with GUID Partition Tables (GPTs) is also most unhealthy.
Don't do it.
Use Linux plaintext partition table (0x88) instead. (You divvy up your disc with dc, vi and dd. I use shell scripts printf and dd :)
Intel is prime example of why employers should have a pro drug policy.
If you have an Intel Mac cross every thing and hope that it never dumps you into firmware. (My Power Macs dual boot, but Intel Macs left well alone.)
