Re: Question about Dual boot Linux on one box

[Sun Liwen]

i think you can install only one grub to boot the two system with 
editing menu.lst.
Do you mean that when i install Debian, I can skip "the boot loader 
installation" ?

skip it or install on the /boot partition of the debian ( root partition 
instead if you leave a single partition to debian )

ps: two grub is ok.
The boot loader  on Gentoo is installed on MBR. So if i want to install 
another boot loader on Debian, where can i install it on?  Can the boot 
loader that is installed on none-MBR partiton can be automatically 
recognized when system boot up?

the grub on MBR will show first, so edit this grub's configuration file 
eg:  /boot/grub/menu.lst  on your gentoo to add an entry to debian
kernel (or grub on debian's boot partition, this maybe redundant , 
but ... anyway if you wish )

the entry to debian kernel just like your gentoo entry
the entry to debian grub, just add 

[code]
title debian grub
## your boot partition
rootnoverity (hd0,X)  
chainloader +1
boot
[/code]

to the menu.lst of the grub on the mbr
