Another important but little-discussed issue when doing Linux/Solaris dual-boot
is the synchronization of the (reading of) system clock. Solaris Express
defaults to local time (zone), whereas, many Linux distros default to UTC.
There does not appear to be an option to adjust the system clock fo
Sorry for the error, the proper entry should be:
title Solaris
root (hd0,1)
chainloader +1
Of course, the line -- root(hd0,1) -- should be adjusted to reflect the correct
partition in which Solaris is to be installed.

Thanks to everyone for their help.
I am pleased to say that by following all your suggestions I now have a working
dual-boot setup with OpenSolaris and Linux :)

Waynel,
Very cool. Worked like a champ. I like the idea of chainloading Linux instead
of the other way around.

[i]I didn't think it was possible to have both solaris and linux fdisk
partitions on the same drive. [/i]
Very easy. Read http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=175401
(I was even 'scolded' for mentioning it).
It will overwrite your MBR, but your whatever Live-CD brings it back. I
Before you can chainload to the SuSE partition, you need to install the
bootloader onto that partition.
To do this, use a LiveCD, any Linux LiveCD will do, su to root, then issue the
following command:
# grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/suse /dev/hda1
As you know, you need to change "/mnt/su

It is, there used to be an issue with Linux seeing a Solaris partition
as Linux swap, but the Solaris partition id was ch
just a quick thought and maybe I'm wrong but I didn't think it was possible to
have both solaris and linux fdisk partitions on the same drive.

Hi,
Thanks for your suggestions.
I have everything on a single drive which might be part of the problem. I
guess I will have to try it again and see what the expect error I was getting
is and then I can also post my grub.conf for some further help if I am still
stuck.
Regards,
Andrew.

Hi,
I didn't get too far with this. I got stuck when I tried to edit the grub.conf
file, so have just gone back to linux for now.
Before I try again, is there anything specific I should do when I install Linux
first? For example, should I have a separate boot partition, and should I

Things are getting better, but I've found that in my installations, it's still
better to use the Linux Grub loader and "chainload" Op
Hi All,
I currently have linux (openSUSE) installed on my laptop but am interested in
experimenting with OpenSolaris as well.
If I free up some disk space and then install OpenSolaris will the OpenSolaris
installer recognise linux and allow me to dual boot the machine?
