If you have several distros/operating systems installed, I know of only one sane way of doing it: Let _one_ of them install to MBR, let the other install grub/etc to their respective partitions. Then in the "master" distro's menu.lst, add entries for chainloading the others:
title Chain to Gutsy root (hd0,6) chainloader +1 title Mickey Mouse Linux root (hd0,2) chainloader +1 title Microsoft Windows root (hd0,1) makeactive chainloader +1 The +1 means the first block of the partition (= boot sector). You can also chainload to a file instead (having copied a boot sector to that file), this can be a solution if you have to share one /boot partition between many OSes, although that case probably needs quite some configuration. -- Ubuntu's Grub unfriendly to other Linux distros https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/47229 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
