I have :
1st hdd:
1st part: primary WunderBomb Pro
2nd part:primary Same Adv Server
3rd : primary FreeBSD
4th: extended with 3 logical inside with Progeny Debian
2nd hdd: two primaries for Solaris 8 IA: one 10 MB boot x86 and the
second - UFS sliced internally. Everything is booted by Progenian GRUB.
The only caveat: Solaris UFS is hex-type 82 which is the same as Linux
swap, so installed Solaris the last. Edit the /boot/grub/menu.ls file
to boot the rest
