I did install refit. I use it all the time with dual boot macs (os
x/windows) in a student lab I have configured. I installed refit and
enabled it (ran enable.sh in /efi/refit), but for some reason refit does
not even show up when booting. I pressed alt, to check what I could boot
from, but if I select the "Windows" partition to boot from (windows always
shows there with any other os to boot from), it starts booting, then ends
up with a blinking cursor at the top left.
