Multi-booting Solaris and other operating systems
An excellent resource that deals with multibooting OpenSolaris with other OSes is http://multiboot.solaris-x86.org/
Can BeleniX multiboot with other OSes like Windows and Linux ?
Yes. BeleniX uses the Grub bootloader that allows you to boot other operating systems. Currently BeleniX will install it's own Grub into the MBR and overwrite the original bootloader. The Grub configuration file in BeleniX is /boot/grub/menu.lst which can be modified to add entries for other operating systems.
This will be changed in a subsequent release to allow the option to install Grub into the Solaris partition and to auto-detect other bootable operating systems.
