Don't quite understand that. I never found it a problem for Solais' grub
to boot my Linux installation, even Linux fs'ses that were within an
extended partition. Solaris, on install (or on refreshing grub) does not
autogenerate you grub menu lines for the Linux roots, but manually adding
them to Solaris' /boot/grub/menu.lst (i.e. copying the entries from the
corresponding Linux file) always worked just fine.
Which is not the case if I use Linux' grub in the MBR - that doesn't like
to boot Solaris directly at all. At least not the one from Fedora 7 and
SuSE 9.x, but haven't tried any newer Linux ones since so my datapoint
there is stale.
Summary:
If you install in order:
- Windows
- Linux
- Solaris
then you have Solaris' grub in the MBR, and the only thing you need to do
to get this grub version directly boot all of your operating systems is to
add the Linux menu.lst entries to /boot/grub/menu.lst on Solaris.
