[lug] Multi OS booting

[Lee Woodworth]

This configuration works on my laptop:

Grub stage1 is on the MBR
W2K3 uses hda{1,6} as drives C: D:
Gentoo uses hda{5,7,8} as /boot swap /

1) Partition disk and format partitions from a live cd
2) Install W2K3, system partition is /dev/hda1 maps to C:,
    boot partition is /dev/hda6 maps to D:
3) Install grub to /dev/hda5 (/boot) using a live cd
4) Install grub stage1 to MBR (hd0)
5) Install gentoo, configure grub.conf on /dev/hda5
