Hello all
I have an early 2011 MacBook Pro with an SSD (with OSX and Windows) in the main bay and an HDD in the optical bay (storage)
Is it possible to make a partition on the HDD and install ArchLinux on it and have it show up on Apple's bootloader when powering on the computer while holding ALT?
Is it even possible to boot an OS from said HDD?
Thanks for your time
