1. Install Linux Mint via USB thumbdrive (Ubuntu has UEFI support)
Use to format and partition destinination drive appropriately
2. install grml-rescueboot
3. cp crunchbang .iso to /boot/grml-rescueboot
4. In the grub CLI (that 40x80 first stage GRUB prompt), set the $root variable
5. > linux ($root)/install/vmlinux
> initrd ($root)/install/initrd.*
6. Insert Crunchbang install DVD, locate CDROM drive in the GRUB CLI
(enjoy finding things in the 40x80 context)
7. Install, reboot, sudo update-grub, reboot
8. Celebrate, and then weep bitterly because it took ten hours to figure out
Bonus: Apple's bootloader is now gone, speeding things up and removing an extra bootup selection. Straight to GRUB.Does anyone know if this process might work for 'BSD? Haven't installed one since the mid-2000s.
