sorry i think this was posted here somewhere but i cant find it.

 

i've got 2 harddrives sata.

 

the first is my mac drive completely with hfs+ and os X only one partition (disk0s1)

on the second is a backup partition (disk1s1) and my windows partition (disk1s2) and maybe in the future there will be 2 linux partitions (swap and ext3) but thats not important atm.

 

so atm i want to boot windows from the darwin bootloader.

 

is it right that i can remember that i can add something as kernel flags to "add" partitions on other drives to the boot menu? i think it was soemthing like rd=disk1s2

 

or isnt it possible? do i have to use grub or do the win and mac partitions have to be on the same drive?

Since you only have one OS on each drive for now, I think the easiest way to dual boot is just to use your motherboard's boot device selector on boot. On most motherboards it's something like F10 or F11, and it lets you choose which drive to boot from. That's how I do it.
