This is not always true. It depends on WHERE you install GRUB. If you install GRUB as the master boot record (MBR), then regardless of what partition is marked active, GRUB will always run at boot. However, if you installed GRUB in a partition and left the old WinDOwS boot program in the MBR, then it will pass control to the boot sector in whatever partition is marked "active." Personally, I prefer to install GRUB in the MBR and mark the partition active for WinDOwS and whatever other OS behaves more rationally in an "active" partition. > the Solaris partition as the active partition.

Or, as I've suggested above, leave menu.lst the same and install GRUB in the MBR rather than a partition.
