Dual-Boot Macbook

I'm trying to dual boot OS X and arch on my macbook, but whenever I try and boot into arch I just get a "Missing Operating System" error that I can't seem to fix. Any ideas?

EDIT: I think it's a problem with the way refit is syncing the gpt/mbr partition tables. Is there an alternate way to do this?

Re: Dual-Boot Macbook

So, I have a new error...

"Non-System Disk. Press any key to reboot."

...any ideas? =/

EDIT: Solved. Moved Grub to the root partition of arch.

Hello Stythys,
try to install Refit with all Options (ext filesystem loader) and then install Grub on the correct partition.
