Can you boot from the live CD? What does gparted show you? Which device/partition is your #! installation? That's the one you need to mount. What does it say when you run the mount command?
Thanks for the reply, I'm getting this. the sda3 seems to be my #! partition.

Boot into live usb.
You should be able to mount your #! partition.
Supposing you #! partition on HD is /dev/sda8, do, as root:mkdir sda8 mount /dev/sda8 sda8You should now be able to browse the #! filesystem under sda8, either from the command line or using your preferred graphical file browser.
My #! is dualbootet on my Macbook. I can't get it work with the mount option you gave me :s

I run a Snow Leopard/Ubuntu 12.04 setup but I've never tackled a triple boot so can't suggest a specific method. From what I can see you can have different issues in a triple boot depending on your mac model and OS scenario. There are a number of howtos on how you can achieve this though with a tool called refit. I think using that would be your best bet. I use it for my dual boot and it works well with Snow Leopard
I'd suggest researching any problems that may occur for your specific setup i.e. model of mac and OS combination (Snow Leopard, Win 7 and Linux) Most of the howtos will be for Ubuntu because it has reliable Mac hardware support out of the box and is why I use it. The install process though should still be the same but I can't tell you how well CrunchBang will support your hardware. I'd also stick with grub. It's reliable and works well.
From what I can see I think your biggest fly in the ointment will be Win 7 as it may require extra steps to rebuild the mbr so that it will boot properly.
Good luck with it. It seems like you have a challenging task ahead
Hey there,
Thanks for the help, my Windows won't boot anymore 
so i will need to fix that. I will keep on searching and trying I will certainly learn alot out of it!
I'm going to visit the forum alot next couple weeks.
Thanks !

I need a bit more info on your setup.
Are you intending to keep Snow Leopard and Win 7 on this machine or remove one or both of them?
Did you create the current setup with boot camp or another method?
I would like to keep them. I installed Windows 7 with Bootcamp, everything is up to date.
Thanks in advance!

Hi there,
I'm a total Linux noob and I hope this is the good place to ask this.
I own a Macbook. (The old Black one.)
Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard and Windows 7, now i want to install ChrunchBang. Now my quastion is, where do i need to install the Boot Loader? and wich one?
I've read that LILO is much faster?
I hope someone can help me!
Thanks!
