Hi,
I'll now need to work out how to have Linux/Windows/OpenIndiana on the
same grub, but I've seen docs about that.
OI and Windows is relatively simple, via chainloading.
OI and recent Linux (with GRUB2, or rather new filesystems not
supported by OI's version of GRUB) - this may be more tricky.
Unfortunately, that's what I have.
I already have OI+Windows on grub, that's no problem.
All my issues started when I installed Linux Mint 15, which failed to
install its GRUB2 (because of not enough space before the first sector of
XP) and overwrote OI's grub...
I think chainloading failed that time for me when I tried,
but this attempt was long ago and I am not certain of its
details now. Possibly you'd need to stack another "external"
bootloader in MBR that would chainload OI or Linux or Windows.
Yes, perhaps I'll stack another bootloader. It's a good idea if it does
not work straight away.
upgrade won't destroy your ability to boot, again :)
To be fair, for once, it's not Windows that destroyed things but Linux ;)
==
Now, if you install Linux after OpenIndiana,
first copy the MBR created by OpenIndiana, then
install Linux, then copy its grub.cfg, then
overwrite the MBR by the one from OpenIndiana
and apply the procedure above.
Ok thanks I'll try that.
