When installing ubuntu, I told it to put its boot code in the first linux
partition, which happens to be the first partition on my disk. I then just
edited /rpool/boot/grub/menu.lst on Solaris to chainload to the linux
bootstrap.
title ubuntu
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
When I select this entry, it brings up the ubuntu grub menu.
The advantage of this is that if ubuntu updates muck with the grub menu, I
don't need to change /rpool/boot/grub/menu.lst. Also it avoids the grub
incompatibility that you pointed out.
