One of the main problems for me in determining how to make another Linux install (be it Gentoo/Suse/Mandrake..etc) is how to get it to boot under Grub. Current Config is /dev/hda6 as / (That means no separate partition for /boot /home or anything at all! I know this may(IS) bad practice but...) Hence I can't share /boot between the 2 LInuxes. How Can I Boot into SUSE or even RH for that case?? Currently I am using Windows Boot Loader to Bootstrap Grub to load RH. (I know Grub can be used to boot windows but I don't want to damage anything since I had it up..)
