So I made the assumption that your part layout was /dev/sdb1 f10 system, /dev/sdb2 f12 system. Option #1 Install grub to the MBR of /dev/sdb Option #2 Install grub to the partition of /dev/sdb1 Lots of things you need to consider, one you dont want to break Do you Chainload into mandriva aswell? is the Mandriva boot installed to MBR /dev/sdd or in the partition /dev/sdd1? Steps I would take: :Reinstall grub to the MBR of /dev/sda and make sure that it has these 3 devices -grub prompt in f10- device (hd0) /dev/sda //f10 device (hd1) /dev/sdb //f12 device (hd2) /dev/sdd //mandriva root (hd0,0) setup (hd0) Option #1 :Reinstall grub to the MBR of /dev/sdb device (hd0) /dev/sdb // This grub is isolated from the MBR one on /dev/sda so I believe this is correct, I've never done something like this personally, though I've messed around with grub alot root (hd0,0) setup (hd0) : Make sure all your entries in menu.lst for f10 are correct # Again I think this is correct, though I haven't done anything like this, I have chainloaded into grub installed to a partition, but not into one installed to another MBR on a seperate drive title Fedora 12 root (hd1,1) chainloader (hd1)+1 Don't do anything till we have another exchange of dialog, my previous message didn't take into account your non simple partition layout. -Will -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
