[Solved] Triple Boot on MacBook Pro

Hi all,
I'm trying to install archlinux with Mac OS X and Windows, even following this guide (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/MacBook).
I partitioned the disk as recommended by the guide so now I have the following partitions:

-Boot partition Mac
-Macintosh HD
-Partition in which I am trying to install Arch
-Partition in which I successfully installed Windows

I followed the installation step by step, until the bootloader installation. I reboot to sync the partition tables in rEFIt, but it's written that I don't have to synchronize and shows dev/sda3 in HPS+ despite is in ext4.

The problem then is that I can't install Grub as suggested in the guide (the only option that shows me is installed in dev / sda in which the partition boot the Mac), so refit doesn't recognize the partition of linux and shows only mac and windows.

Thanks in advance.

Re: [Solved] Triple Boot on MacBook Pro

How did you "solve" this? I recently acquired a new Macbook Pro as well, and want to dual boot with Arch, so I am curious as to what steps you did to make it work.
