		lobo_tuerto on July 20, 2011 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: OS X Lion Recovery removes need for physical media "...or you’ve installed a hard drive without OS X, for example — Internet Recovery takes over automatically" Could a dual boot system (Lion + Ubuntu) be confused with "hard drive without OS X" and be taken over by the Lion Recovery automatically? Hope this doesn't means that only OS X should be installed in a Mac.

I doubt it, since Boot Camp is a native OS X feature.

Boot Camp only allows for one other OS. Back when I tri-booted, I had to do it all manually (and use refit). Boot Camp had no idea what was going on.

I'd imagine they're targeting more the situation of "I bought a new, blank hard drive".
