I dual-booted Darwin+Linux on some IA32 boxes a year or so ago. Unless 
something's changed, it should work much as Windows - the default MBR 
looks for an active partition and loads a bootloader off it. It went 
bereft if there was no active partition, a problem which lead me to read 
the relevant code fairly closely.
