</div></div>I forgot to add; for dual boot *menu* entry, all you need is to set chain_disk=“devicename:”, for example in file /boot/conf.d/chainload - if the variable chain_disk is set, the menu entry will appear. In case of distro constructor, this will be done in /boot/loader.rc.local on installer image. However, we do not install this file to disk (if you will look into it, you can figure out, why;).<br class=""></blockquote><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Could we compile the info on the Wiki somehow, or if you have a pointer at hand?<br class=""></div><div class=""> </div></div></div></div></div></blockquote><br class=""></div></span><div class="">Sure, just someone needs to write it down… Also, there are manuals waiting for helping hand in source tree - reviewing and updating manuals is great way to get knowledge and to start to contribute.
