[OpenIndiana-discuss] multiboot windows7 along hipster 10161030

Hello,

I installed hipster on a free partition on a notebook including also 
windows 7. As far as I remember when I do that with solaris, when 
booting, I get into grub and I have just to edit  grub or to modify 
/rpool/boot/grub/grub.cfg to configure the mutiboot.

Here I get immediately into a Hipsper screen.

What should I do to pass first trough grub (or any other way to boot 
windows on this machine) ? I want the two OS to run natively, nor 
virtually one on top of the other.

I tried "escape to loader prompt" but I do not know how to boot windows 
from there nor how to add the possibility to boot windows from the first 
menu. I tried lsdev where I see the windows partitions. I tried to chain 
these, as well the solaris 2 partition: in all instances I get "open failed"

I guess I am not the first to want a muti boot hipster/windows 7.

Can anybody hell me

Thanks in advance

Marc
