I have a remote machine with both Gentoo and Windows installed. It's currently in Linux, but I need to reboot it to Windows, do some things (via RemotelyAnywhere), then boot it back to Linux.
I can cause the reboot via RemotelyAnywhere, but how can I tell grub to boot Windows one time, then Linux next time?
It could be done if you could run grub under Windows, to set another default. Is it possible to compile grub under Windows? Somehow I doubt it, but I would be glad to be proven wrong.
Maybe it could be, but wouldn't I need to use a whole new grub.conf and boot from the windows partition... not sure how linux would react to /boot not being the boot partition.
I was thinking maybe I could backup the current boot sector to a file on the windows partition, replace the boot sector with windows' default one, boot into windows, then replace the grub boot sector via some windows dd replacement :)
