No optional s/w

Full distribution without OEM ( if you add optional s/w you will need >10gb)

Partition 1 Type = SOLARIS

Size = 5000

Layout = slice 0 / 4500mb

slice 1 swap 497mb (rounding errors)

Installation continues………

/boot/grub/grub/lst looks like this on the Solaris /boot partition

title Solaris 10…..

root (hd0,0,a)

kernel /platform/i86pc/multiboot

module /platform/i86pc/boot_archive

title Solaris 10 failsafe

root (hd0,0,a)

kernel /boot/multiboot kernel/unix –s

module /boot/x86.miniroot –safe

Use free space on selected drives and create default layout

In the installation

Select Grub boot loader

Add label = Unix

device = /dev/hda1

This adds the following to the fedora:/boot/grub/menu.lst

Complete the Fedora installation

Boot Fedora, and change in /boot/grub/menu.lst timeout to –1

Because Fedora was installed 2^nd, the MBR has the Fedora GRUB records in it.

If you select Solaris from the Fedora GRUB menu, it then transfers you the the GRUB records on the Solaris /boot partition, where you get the two Solaris options of regular Solaris boot, or a Solaris fail-safe boot.

Layout – Windows XP on first disk

Solaris/Fedora on 2^nd disk

Should be able to set the boot order in the BIOS to either pick up the Windows MBR on the first disk – BIOS Boot Order …..C: D:……

Or the GRUB MBR on the second disk – BIOS Boot Order…….D: C:……….
