Solaris 11 GRUB

If you’ve ever played with trying to dual boot the latest Solaris using the Solaris GRUB then you’ll probably use this information. To rewrite the MBR with the Solaris GRUB use the installgrub command like so:

# /sbin/installgrub -m /boot/grub/stage1 /boot/grub/stage2 /dev/rdsk/c0d0s0

I still haven’t got my triple boot working exactly how I want it, but I will.

    Thanks. Let me try this. I’ve just installed my Nevada 27a. I notice that JDS (mine is custom kernel 2.6.5) does not recognise the solaris fs anymore. Not seeing the ’solaris’ entry is dmesg. Cannot mount it either. Hmm, seems like need to burn more weekend on this thing.

    I am trying to tri-boot Vista/Solaris/Linux, installed Vista, Solaris overrided MBR dual-boot, Linux overrided, ignoring Solaris and its partition doesn’t have a bootloader. So how to you get Linux Grub to boot to both Linux and Solaris, while chainloading to windows?
