I have a 2009 MacBook Pro 7,1 running Natty.
I believe the question mark means that the Mac can't locate the OS to
boot from. I suspect this may be due to GRUB being installed on the
MBR, when it needs grub-efi.
Did you do a dual boot (with OSX) or clean install?
There is a 'special' image for Macs (I don't know exactly what's
special about it to be honest).

Maybe give that a go?
Cheers,
Al.
