I installed iDeneb from USB (which I prepared using MacOS in vmware, yeah, a bit contrived).
After successfull installation, grub was overwritten and the system booted directly into the first partition, XP. I started ubuntu from a stick to re-install grub in the MBR. I could not figure out how to start mac from grub, so instead I added it to the XP boot.ini as C:\chain0="Mac Os" and copied
chain0 to the windows partition.
Now if I want to select mac, I first have to select XP in grub, and then mac in the XP boot. Not elegant but working.

I have a similar setup on my NB200: triple boot XP, OSX and Ubuntu. I posted about it in this forum a while ago.
I installed OSX first, then XP, then Ubuntu. I can boot XP and Ubuntu directly from Grub. OSX boots in a two-step process: first select OSX in grub (which chainloads Chameleon), then select OSX in chameleon (or wait for the 3 sec timeout).
I might remove the chameleon step later, but for now this works fine. I use the grub savedefault option, so whenever I reboot from one of the OS'es, it reboots back into the same OS.
