Chain Loading
I'm finding myself lost in this area. I would truly appreciate your help.
Synopsis
I've finalized the OS's I intend to multiboot, they are Win XP, Open Solaris 10, Suse 11, and Fedora 9. However, I do not know much about Grubs chainload for the MBR. From my understanding, Xp will be written as (hd0,0).
Possible Setup
Would this the be right?
* Open Solaris 10
* root (hd0,1)
* chainloader +1
* Open Suse 11
* root (hd0,2)
* chainloader +1
* Fedora 9
* root (hd0,3)
* chainloader +1

If XP is on the first partition then yes it would be (hd0,0). Here's my bootloader.
Code:
default=0
timeout=30
splashimage=(hd0,5)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Fedora 9 (2.6.25.6-55.fc9.i686)
root (hd0,5)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.25.6-55.fc9.i686 ro root=UUID=67a30fd4-7022-4ebe-8f9d-07cd2aabd732 vga=791
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.25.6-55.fc9.i686.img
title Fedora 8 (2.6.25.6-27.fc8)
root (hd0,4)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.25.6-27.fc8 ro root=LABEL=/ vga=791
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.25.6-27.fc8.img
title Windows Vista
rootnoverify (hd0,1)
chainloader +1
title Windows XP
root (hd0,2)
chainloader +1
Fedora 9 is handling booting here. Vista is on /dev/sda2 and XP is on /dev/sda3

255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
