Hi,
I have been searching on this topic(google, forum, wiki), but I haven't found anything, the reuslts are outdated or incomplete etc...
So my question is: Is there a way to install Arch using the bootcamp tool, without rEFIt?
Currently I'm running Ubuntu and Windows using bootcamp and grub2, without any manual or special configuration... How is this possible? I mean, I thought there would be problems with GPT table format and so on.
Anyone successfully running this tripleboot configuration?
When installing Arch do I have to install grub2 or just the normal legacy grub?
Any step-by-step guide?
Hope you can help me out. Thank you!

OK after my 4th attempt, i got it
My initial situation
fdsik -l (GPT table format)
Gerät boot. Anfang Ende Blöcke Id System
/dev/sda1 1 26 204819+ ee GPT
/dev/sda2 26 36747 294963432 af HFS / HFS+
/dev/sda3 * 61682 77826 129678336 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda4 36747 61438 198331055 83 Linux
So, I had Ubuntu running on sda4 (ext4).
What I did
1. Installed rEFIT on Mac OS X, and after two reboots it showed up.
2. In the rEFIT menu, Synchronized with the Partition tool my MBR and GPT table.
3. Opened Gparted on an ubuntu live cd, in order to format my ext4 partition
4. Installed Arch using the normal installation procedure, but I skipped the partitioning section, I did only the file system mountpoints step, selecting my sda4 partition.
5. Installed grub (not grub2) on /dev/sda, the mbr (not /dev/sda4), and activated the windows section in menu.lst
6. After reboot, I selected from rEFIT the Windows logo (linux logo doesn't work), through the windows logo i get in the standard grub menu, where I can select Windows or Arch!
Now I'll remove rEFIT and boot trough normal mac os x's bootcamp tool. (if you select windows you get in the grub menu)
Hope this helps someone!
