grub and leopard

[polle58]

I have sucessfully installed leopard (thanks to zepyroth for the dvd release) I installed it on a separate sata disk, everything working fine, but I have a question about booting;

I have 3 harddisks in my pc:

1 master sata gentoo linux with grub

2 pata with tiger 10.4.9 tubgirl

3 sata with leopard zepyroth dvd

 

I can boot leopard on tow different ways:

-booting I  press F11, thenn I can choose to boot from the sata disk with leopard and that works fine.

-I boot my master sata with grub installed, I added an entry for leopard (used boot_v5) that wotks whenI choose my entry" leopard" in the grub menu , I have a few seconds to stroke  akey and to enter "82" to get my leopard booted from the sata harddisk.

 

But what I want is to boot directly in to leopard without to enter the id for my harddis, Is it possible to edit boot_v5  to let it take my leopard disk as default?

If you have any unused disk space on disk 3, make a 2nd (it can be very small) partition there using a disk format readable by grub (i.e ext3)

Then put boot_v5 there instead of in /boot

 

Boot_v5 starts looking for hfsplus partition on whichever disk you booted it from
