Re: Dual Boot

[David Andrew - Sun MDE <David.Andrew@East.Sun.COM>]

William,

The dual boot instructions are on that site because it is a little more 
complicated to set up a single disk for dual boot.  It is primarily directed to 
the Ultra5 which only has one disk. In fact, the disk druid provided in 
UltraPenguin shows you all the disks and existing partitions and gives you the 
flexibility to put bootable OS's wherever you want to.  The dual boot 
instructions discuss how to specify which partition you want to boot from; using 
separate disks has generally been the easiest way to provide multiple boot 
options.
