Successfully Booting Three OS on Three Harddrives with GRUB
Folks,
I just submitted a post on the Mepis Lovers forum about my recent experience getting my SimplyMepis computer to boot to three different operating systems using GRUB.
Because everyone's been so helpful and generous with their time, thought someone might benefit from my sharing what I learned during the process.

Hope this (pointing to another forum) is appropriate and someone finds this useful.

Just what I was looking for.
Your post just helped me figure out how to get my dual boot going.
I have two SATA drives, Mepis on one and WinXP on the other.
I couldn't get XP to boot.
My menu.lst before:
title MEPIS at sdb1, kernel 2.6.10
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.10 root=/dev/sdb1 nomce psmouse.proto=imps quiet splash=verbose vga=791
initrd (hd0,0)/boot/initrd.splash
savedefault
title Windows XP at sdb1
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
chainloader +1
savedefault
And after:
title MEPIS at sda1, kernel 2.6.10
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.10 root=/dev/sda1 nomce psmouse.proto=imps quiet splash=verbose vga=791
initrd (hd0,0)/boot/initrd.splash
savedefault
title Windows XP at sdb1
map (hd1) (hd0)
map (hd0) (hd1)
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
chainloader +1
makeactive
savedefault
Works perfectly now.
Thanks a bunch!
