Hi Thibaut,

I actually have successfully gotten my Mac Mini 6,1 to boot via Grub 2. I
used these instructions:

...adapted for my machine. Note that I don't dual boot: it's Ubuntu only.

I also created a PPA for the hfs-bless utility here:

https://launchpad.net/~detly/+archive/mactel-utils

...and the packaging source is here:

https://github.com/detly/mactel-boot

Let me know if you have any questions :)
