Hi,
I have openSolaris installed on sda4 alongside several linux on sda2
(extended), PC-BSD on sda3 and Windows 7 on sda1. In addition I have 4 more
Linux on sdc2 (extended). During Solaris install I used grub to hide sda2 in
order to hide swap and stuff. Solaris installed its GRUB on MBR, I used GRUB CD
to unhide sda2 post install. Solaris GRUB picked up Windows and went on
commenting several ext4 partitions on sdc2. I edited the
/rpool/boot/grub/menu.lst and added sda2 and sdc2 Linux titles in it.
Here is my /rpool/boot/grub/menu.lst -

Later I updated the grub but it wont boot Linux from sda2. I installed SUSE
GRUB with GRUB CD, which now boots Solaris and others. I now have a recusive
GRUB menu. Did some research and found out that it is better to use Solaris
GRUB to chainload or boot other OS. I will like to try Solaris GRUB to boot
Linux and the rest.
Best,
David
