Right, that was Moinak's fix to 6510526. As for capturing more info about the other installations into the Solaris GRUB menu, we already do what we can for Windows, and it should generally be right with that bug fix. Linux is a tougher problem, because we don't have either extended partition support, or read support for any of the Linux file system formats, so we usually can't locate or identify the installed Linux instances. Getting those two things added to the system will give us the basic support we require to allow better integration with the other OS's. Our team isn't going to take on either of those problems, but I'll be trying to get teams committed to doing so.
