You could install LILO, GRUB Legacy, or a more exotic boot loader instead of GRUB 2, if you preferred, but this would involve jumping through extra hoops. IIRC, it doesn't know the difference between different boot loaders, so it will call GRUB 2 "Windows," but it should work. You should then get an option on the Mac's boot menu for booting a BIOS-mode OS. In its simplest-to-install configuration, this involves booting the Ubuntu installer in BIOS mode and letting it install GRUB 2. BIOS/CSM/legacy mode - Much older documentation describes installing Ubuntu on a Mac using the Compatibility Support Module (CSM), aka BIOS-mode or legacy-mode support. The answer to your question depends on which method, and variant, you choose: That said, there are two ways to install Ubuntu under OS X, each of which has several variants. Thus, if you can't get it working the way you want, please look into rEFInd instead of rEFIt. Because of this, I created a rEFIt fork called rEFInd, which is under active development and that works better with both Linux (including Ubuntu) and recent versions of OS X than does rEFIt. First, rEFIt is abandonware it hasn't been updated in six years.
