No "Install alongside" option with Macbook Pro

[coilerman]

I'm trying to install 12.04 LTS from a CD alongside Mountain Lion on a mid-2009 MacBook Pro. I created a 80GB partition on my drive and booted from CD. After connecting nicely to my wireless, I am given only two options in installation type - 1) Erase disk and install or 2) Something else.

It does not give me the "Install alongside" option. Any ideas?

The install alongside is for Windows only. Installation on a Mac is not as easy. Luckily, there is some documentation available:
