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;).
