I'm using Debian Squeeze as my main working system. Recently I have installed NetBSD on an external HDD. It's quite easy to tell Grub2 in Squeeze what to do
.
1. You have to edit the file /etc/grub.d/40_custom
2. Add something like this:
Quote:
menuentry "NetBSD" {
set root=(hd0,2)
chainloader +1
}
|
Were I have written "set root=(hd0,2)" you have to insert your individual values concerning HDD geometry.
Be carefull: Grub2 counts hard discs from zero but partitions from one! So what has been (hd0,1) in old Grub is now (hd0,2).
3. sudo update-grub2
(4. Grub2 identified Windows XP on my old Laptop without any further hassle)
et voila
