I always have two separate /boot partitions, one for the latest stable install (say FC3), one for the latest experimental install (FC4test, development, whatever). The stable owns the MBR, and, by default, chainloads the experimental one. grub-install and anaconda insist in transferring ownership of the MBR to the experimental one, that's true. But it's not a limitation of grub. I can use the grub shell to fix things up myself, and it has no problem whatsoever booting up once things are set up to my linking. So, if anything, it's a minor thing in grub-install, which is just a wrapper helper script for grub. grub itself is fine. -- Alexandre Oliva http://www.ic.unicamp.br/~oliva/ Red Hat Compiler Engineer aoliva@{redhat.com, gcc.gnu.org} Free Software Evangelist oliva@{lsd.ic.unicamp.br, gnu.org}
