I tried doing this back in the day (2009), and it worked so-so. I have
not tried with more recent releases of Fedora.
I opened a feature request on the issue, and I think you might be able
to find some helpful in the discussion on that page:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=503149
So, in a word, no... it is not a seemless, flawless, noobie-friendly,
happy puppies dancing with butterflies endeavour with my friend not at
risk of losing data and/or his OSX installation. ;-)
Why is it so difficult? Would this be a bios related restriction?\
