need a little help adding boot option to Chameleon
« on: March 30, 2010, 03:53:57 PM »
Hello
   I am in need of some help/advice I have been using and very much enjoying Chameleon for many months I have a tri-boot (win7, iatkos v7 updated to 10.5.8, and Linux Sabayon 5.2) up until now any time I re-installed Linux on disk0s3 on reboot there was the lovely little penguin to greet me but not this time I re-installed Sabayon and installed grub to the / partition as I have always done and no boot option so I thought maybe its the file format (went from ext3 to ext4) reinstalled formatting to ext3 still not there so I tried rieserFS no go so I need to know where I need to edit to add Linux I looked at the boot.plist and did not see it there is there a chameleon equivalent to /boot/grub/menu.lst? I searched google and the forums for two days and found a few posts but no answer I would love to continue using Chameleon I just need to know how to add this to boot options any help will be appreciated
                                                      Thank You:)

Please read the documentation before asking basic questions. You could also have browsed to the second or third page here in the forum and found your answer - much quicker than posting.
