One Response to Booting from External HDD on Mac problem?
Mac does not recognize EXT4 file system, or the Linux bootloader because it is not blessed (meaning its not recognized as a bootable volume). You need to install REFIT http://refit.sourceforge.net/ (free) and restart your Mac 2 times to activate it. Then you will be able to boot Linux.
