Default Problems booting Debian on an external USB disk on a MacBook

Hi!

I am trying to install Debian Lenny on my MacBook, by way of an external
USB hard disk and Refit. I have followed the instructions given in
http://ghaint.no-ip.org/~k2/debian/mbp-usb.html and succeeded in booting
from the i386 net-install for Lenny Beta 2, created partitions and installed
the system.


The problem is that I am unable to boot into the Linux system afterwards.

At the Refit prompt, I do get three OS icons (Mac OS, Windows and Linux). I
have Mac OS and Windows installed on the internal harddisk, these boot fine.


The problem is that when I try to boot from the external disk, chosing the
Linux icon, it boots into Windows anyway.


Does anyone have an idea on what I might be doing wrong?
