I have a laptop that boots XP, Linux and Solaris. That cost me about a dozen
install attempts to make work. Then I never used it as I was able to avoid
traveling.
Subsequently I've always simply swapped hard drives when I wanted to switch the

EFI makes multibooting easier, not that I recommend multibooting.

Yes it is possible, however, it can be tricky preventing one installer from
stepping on another OS. In particular Linux and Solaris partitions use the same
number to denote partition type. The way around that is to use fdisk to change
the partition type to DOS or similar, install and then fix t

If the PC BIOS, boot disk size, and the other OSes support legacy boot,
yes. Otherwise I wouldn't say it's not possible but you're likely to

Hello OpenIndiana users,
Is it possible to install OpenIndiana alongside other
OSes on same PC with a single disk ? I don't know if
disk partitions exist in the Unix world or if is sees
the disks differently (I heard of slices instead of
partitions in some OSes)
Feedback appreciated.
