I am trying to figure out how to get grub properly configured
to MultiBoot various OS's that are available.
Here is the disks paritions:
============================
# fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 320.0 GB, 320072933376 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 38913 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

IDE-0

/dev/sda2 19123 38913 158971207+ 7 HPFS/NTFS (w_App)
Disk /dev/sdb: 320.0 GB, 320072933376 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 38913 cylinders

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdc1 * 1 6374 51199123+ 7 HPFS/NTFS (f9-XP)
/dev/sdc2 6375 12748 51199155 7 HPFS/NTFS (f9-Vista)
/dev/sdc3 12749 12773 200812+ 83 Linux (f9-boot)

/dev/sdc7 90565 91201 5116671 82 Linux swap / Solaris
Note that there is F8 and F9 Fedora's installed, each with it's own MBR and
/boot partitions: F8 in /dev/sdb and F9 in /dev/sdc. Physically, have
/dev/sdb
as the primary boot disk and the BIOS recognizes /dev/sdb as the first boot
disk followed by /dev/sdc.
My thinking here is, that since I don't want to have to set my BIOS disk
order
in switching from F8 to F9 or back, how is it possible to configure f8-grub
(and/or f9-grub) so that it can recognize all of the OS's?
The bummer here, is that if I configure the f8-boot (or f9-boot) grub, with
crossover, every time a new kernel is updated, I also have to update grub.
Does anyone have any advice in how to do this up properly?
Thanks!
Dan
