I'm comfortable w/ GRUB, but it's time to move to GRUB2. Did you manage to get GRUB2 working on a dual or multiboot system? I'd like to see some examples that work.
If so, please post your working grub.cfg file & describe how & why you partitioned the way you did.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions as to useful strategies for the following configuration.
I have enough space now that I'd like to partition it for about 3-4 BSDs, 5-7 Linux distros, 2 Windows installations. (Why not?) I will be structuring and writing a GRUB2 file for the following boot configuration:
A small & fast SSD drive for boot and system files (sda)
Three increasingly large and slow drives for data (sdb-sdd)
Would ext4, xfs, jfs, btrfs, or other formats be better suited for any of the following files?
large consumer video & consumer files
audio files related to Ardour and JACK apps
documents
Attached is my most recent GRUB legacy menu.lst file, from a two disk (sda & sdb) configuration with working Ubuntu Studio, Fedora, XP, and Ubuntu.
