I'm a bit stuck at this point, and the next steps will have to be a detailed study of bootloaders and EFI. I have an ext2 /boot partition on the same disk, and copied ext2_圆4.efi into the /EFI directory, but no go. So, I've managed to get rEFInd installed on a partition on the external drive but it does not detect the Ubuntu installation. ![]() However, the common thread appears to be using rEFInd to rejig the boot options. I have Googled extensively and I'm sure it's possible to get the Mac to boot it, but the instructions I've found have been either too vague ( Installing Ubuntu on and External Hard Drive and boot in a Mac) or in one case, too complex ( ) to make much sense. However, contrary to some assertions here and elsewhere, after restarting the result is not detected by the Mac as bootable. I can easily create a bootable USB stick and use that to install Ubuntu 14.04 onto a properly partitioned USB device. I wish to run Ubuntu on my iMac from external USB storage, either an external disk or a flash drive. ![]()
