Another weird thing is that it mounts the bootstrap partition.
But it doesn't unbless anything. And triple-boot works perfectly.
I just had to mess around with partition # (and btw I seem to have 3 free
partition disappear).
you should be able to reorder this so your bootstrap partition is first.

It's a 27G disk...
May be I'll change "Apple_Bootstrap" to "Apple_Boot" ?
i wouldn't then MOSX will think that its it owns this partition and
who know what it will do to it then.  if its Apple_Bootstrap its less
likely apple will destroy it randomly since OSX does not know what it
is.

i very much doubt they reorder the partition table at every boot so
using the `r' command in mac-fdisk should allow you to reorder the
table so Apple_Bootstrap is first.
