Skipping rEFInd menu after Option+Command+P+R and going straight to grub

I used Option+Command+P+R to try and fix a sleep issue in OSX. From there I'm a little confused about what happened but I ended up in a mac recovery mode (offering to reinstall OSX), which I tried to exit out of as quickly as possible.

When it rebooted, it seems to be jumping straight to grub, which needs telling which partition to boot and I can't boot OSX (only Ubuntu).

It's as though I've changed the active partition (is that even relevant for EFI?). Can this be fixed from inside ubuntu? I have a retina display macbook, so no CD, and I'd like to fix this from inside Ubuntu ideally.

Try booting with a CD-R or USB flash drive image of rEFInd. This should enable you to boot into OS X and re-install rEFInd there (or just re-run the relevant bless command from the rEFInd OS X installation instructions -- see step #8).
