[OpenIndiana-discuss] Dual boot with Linux

[Ashutosh Narayan]

Hi Gary,

Thanks for your inputs. I went through /etc/grub.d/40_custom file ;
so I think if I add Open Indiana's grub entries here I should be able to see
them in grub menu and as well boot to O-I build 148 that I have installed ?

Second, I could not find "GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER= " parameter
under /etc/default/grub , do you want me to manually add it there ?

Third how can I mount a Solaris2 partition on Linux ?
Reason, I want to see the menu.lst entries of O-I.
I can't boot to O-I because I re-installed grub after installing O-I.
Other way could be I should boot off O-I live cd and then mount
Solaris2 partition to note down those entries.

Thanks !
