Re: Question about Dual boot Linux on one box
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
