I don't know about a how-to, but you can configure rEFIt under OS X by editing the file /efi/refit/refit.conf . Look for the "legacyfirst" option.

I tried, but it doesn't work.
Run /efi/refit/enable.sh is also required.

So in your refit.conf file, you have "legacyfirst" (without quotation marks) on a line by itself, then you ran enable.sh, and it still doesn't boot into Ubuntu by default?

I just tried the legacyfirst option, worked fine for me. I didn't do ./enable.sh or anything afterwards, just modified that one line (removed the #).

No. I tried to uncomment "legacyfirst" and then reboot. Refit! boot menu disappeared and Mac OS started booting.
Then I tried to comment it out. Reboot. Menu appeared, but, of course OS X was default OS.
Then I tried to uncomment "legacyfirst" and run enable.sh. All became Ok!
