The os-prober program will find the different OS's on the separate

them(it usually adds ones you don't necessarily don't want like restore
partitions.) Worst case scenario is you would have to add them to the grub
config files in /etc/grub.d

I have already installed windows xp and squeezei386 with grub in MBR.
I would like install squeeze amd64 in other partition for multi boot.
If I install grub in MBR while installing squeezeamd64, then how do I
boot squeezei386 as its boot info is not in its partition boot
sector.
How should I go about to boot all the three OSes.

thanks. what I am doubting is not about finding other OSes while
installing new OS squeezeamd64, but about the squeezei386 whose grub
is now in MBR. When I install new squeezeamd64 if it over writes MBR,
then old squeeze will become unbootable..
I think you might be missing the point. When you install squeezeamd64
and you permit it to overwrite the MBR, the resultant GRUB installation
will find the original squeezei386 and offer it as a bootable option in
the GRUB menu.
If you have a good reason to prefer the GRUB within the i386
installation, then you could achieve this by booting the i386 version as
described in the preceding paragraph and then re-installing GRUB from there.
