Re: Choosing default OS in multi boot system



I've wondered about this or something similar. Has anyone tried having
each OS install their grub to their partition, rather than the MBR — and
then having a separate grub configuration that installs onto the MBR
which lets you chain-load each of the partitions (or LVs or whatever?)
My thinking is that the MBR-level grub will not need to be updated
much, and various OS's machinery built on top of grub to update when
you put a new kernel in, etc., are less likely to trample on each other
(or the MBR) if you have told them (or d-i or whatever) to not install
to the MBR themselves.

Does that sound sane?
