A1. tri boot with OpenSuSe 11, Gentoo 2008 and Windows Vista.
Start with Windows Vista.
Install Gentoo 2008.0 /boot as primary partition
but swap and / as extended.
Plan for /home sharing across OpenSuSe 11 and Gentoo 2008
by creating an independent partition (extended)
Finally install OpenSuSe 11 /boot on a primary partition
and write the grub on MBR.
Use grub to chainload Vista.
2. dual boot with Solaris 10 and OpenSuSe 11 / Gentoo 2008.0
note: Solaris grub understand linux partitions, but
standard grub does not understand solaris slices.
so, we should use Solaris grub
first install solaris in a single primary partition.
All the solaris partitions will go in as slices.
Install Solaris grub on the MBR
Next install OpenSuSe 11 or Gentoo 2008.0 with grub package.
But don't install the grub on MBR (just ignore that step)
Update the /boot/grub/menu.lst entry on Solaris 10 box to
reflect the Linux boot partition.
Hope this helps.
thanks
Saifi.
