> ooops im sorry...its on an x86 = ) i have here quadruple booting (w98, freebsd 4.5, linux 7.3 & solaris 8) on a single disk... the main issue between linux and solaris is that, solaris partition id is equal to linux swap partition id.. so therefore which ever OS you install it first, the installer will confuse... what i did and i trick the second OS installer is to manually remove the first OS partition table inside the MBR sector only... but of course you must not allocate that partition that is already allocated.. just leave it there as a blackhole so that the second installer will see it as a free partition... later on after the second OS installed, i manually return the partition table of the first OS installed and alter the MBR appropriately. fooler. _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
