1 I'm just having second doubts about how to dual boot 2 gentoo
2 installations.
3
4 Can I just edit grub from the original install and add the appropriate
5 kernal line like:
6
7 title=kernel-2.6.27-r3-0x31a-1280x1024
8 root (hd0,0)
9 kernel /kernel-2.6.27-r3 root=/dev/hda5 vga=0x31A video=vesafb:mtrr,ywrap
10
11 ## add this for new install
12
13 title=kernel-2.6.27-r4-0x31a-1280x1024
14 root (hd1,1)
15 kernel (hd1,1)/boot/kernel-2.6.27-r4 root=/dev/hdb2 vga=0x31A video=vesafb:mtrr,ywrap
16
17
18 I didn't want to just try it in case there is something I've forgotten
19 that is likely to get screwed up.
20
21 I'm not asking if the addressing is right, just asking if in general
22 this can be done with no problems.
