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

[illumos project]

Issue #622 has been updated by Julian Wiesener.


i wouldn't think of it as a showstopper, since you can chainload an other partition with an other bootloader from oi menu.lst, or write the bootloader manually and restore the other bootloader and chainload from this (more practical, since beadm will not change the default then). Of course it would be good to be configurable, the point is, we'll not made it for our 151 release and it would make sense to wait for grub2, we'll need to change the routine then anyway.

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
