Install Ubuntu server on Mac Mini
1. Keep the OSX and partition the HD.
Ubuntu only sounds nice, but really doesn’t play nicely with EFI. You’ll end up with a flashing folder icon with a questionmark.
Open Disk Utility. Select the Hard Drive, Partition tab. Drag the resize arrow up to the top. I used a 120GB and the Leopard got 20GB (needs at least ~16GB) and the 100GB rest as Free Space.
2. Install rEFIt boot menu.
This will allow you to select Linux when the Mac boots.
rEFIt (Mac disk image) Just double click the package, install then reboot twice. On the second time you’ll see the boot menu. Use the keyboard to select Partitioning and sync the two partition tables. y to confirm.
3. Install Linux.
Insert the install disk and reboot. You should see Tux holding a CD as an option to select.
When it comes to the partitioning screen choose manual.
Create New > 4 GB > Change use as: to swap area
Return to menu and
Create New > The rest should be calculated (~96 GB) so press next. > Keep as ext4
Return to menu and make sure it looks right.
Make a note as to which number the ext4 is on. In this case partion #4 you want this when it comes to the GRUB install option.
Now press Finish and create.
On the install GRUB, type in /dev/sda with the ext4 partition number you made, do not except any defaults! As I made it fourth after the swap I typed:
/dev/sda4
After the install has completed, on the reboot you’ll see the rEFIt boot menu now with both the Mac and Linux options.
Select Partioning again and sync, it might say nothing needs to be synced.
4 Set Linux to be the default boot option.
As this was headless I want it to go into Linux with just pressing the power on. Boot into the Mac side and open up a terminal.
sudo nano /efi/refit/refit.conf
At the bottom uncomment
#default_selection L
then save (ctrl+x) and close. Reboot and it should countdown with Linux selected and go into GRUB and count down and boot by itself.
