Hi,

I've installed rEFInd on my Mac OS partition using the install.sh script. rEFInd boots without any issues. However, I was unable to boot the Arch Linux installer through any means of which I could think. I tried three ways: archlinux-2013.06.01-dual.iso on USB, archlinux-2013.03-4-archboot-dual.iso on USB and archlinux-2013.06.01-dual.iso on a DVD+R DL. For either of the USB images, rEFInd did recognize them as a legacy OS, but when I tried to boot them, it gave me some error about the Mac's EFI having poor support for legacy OSes from external drives. As for the DVD, it wasn't recognized at all.

I have an iMac7,1 with a 64-bit 2.8 GHz Core 2 Duo ("Extreme") CPU.

I hope there is a solution to this. Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to provide.
