polaris Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 Heres my situation - right now I have a dual boot running on my Windows machine between a Linux distro and XP home. I just dug up an Intel OSX boot disc from a few months back that I installed on a hard drive which is now lost shortly after I originally got it. Well, I want to tri-boot between Linux, XP, and OSX, but the problem is I'm not sure if my current bootloader (grub) can support an OSX partition. Can someone tell me if it does or not?

abcslayer Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 You should use Grub as MBR boot loader (install it on your hdd MBR) but you must install Windows XP first and then OS X (to make it easy for grub auto config when you install Linux). With OS X bootloader you should use the famous chain loading with windows XP bootloader. So the boot process for OSX is: Grub -> Windows XP bootloader -> OS X bootloader.

If its SUSE Linux you are talking about, then dont worry, it comes with its own Linux Booloader (with a Tux Logo). My friend has all 3 installed.
