Re: dual OS boot selection

If you have out-of-band access (serial console), you can get grub to appear there by doing something like:

serial --unit=0 --speed=9600 --word=8 --parity=no --stop=1
terminal --timeout=5 serial console
default=0
timeout=5
#splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Fedora Core (2.6.10-1.9_FC2)
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.10-1.9_FC2 ro root=LABEL=/ console=tty0 console=ttyS0,9600n8
        initrd /initrd-2.6.10-1.9_FC2.img

Is there a way to select which OS to boot remotely?
MBR provides you an option at the very beginning when you power on your box.
But I will only have access to my PC via VNC or telnet,ssh soon.

Thanks for the help.
