[Caiman-team] [OpenIndiana Distribution - Feature #622] Choose MBR installation

[illumos project]

Issue #622 has been updated by Gordon Ross.


This issue is a "show stopper" for some people who want to do a "dual boot"
install into a second partition (i.e. after having "shrunk" their Windows install).
Would it not be possible to at least offer some way to just skip installgrub?
(letting the user do that part manually)

After i install your os, I just have 2 OS on the bootloader (W7 and OI) because it is grub1... When i install all of my other os, i don't install mbr and just update grub2 after the installation, but now, i have to use my Ubuntu 10.10 dvd and  use the command grub-install on my sda...

I we can choose what mbr we want like chameleon or grub2, grub1 or nothing and on the selected partition like the mbr SDA0 or the installed OS SDA9 (ex).

thx
