thanks for the tip, Richard, but i found that debian squeeze doesn't
have /boot/grub/menu.lst anymore.
i tried googling for instructions on how to add alternative systems to
grub2, but so far haven't found anything substantial;
the only thing i did try was i added this to /etc/grub.d/40_custom:
menuentry "Plan9 from Bell Labs" {
insmod chain
insmod fat16
set root=(hd0,1)
chainloader +1
}
then i ran update-grub as root and rebooted the system;
this time "Plan9 from Bell Labs" did appear in the grub menu; i selected
it and got an error: message: error: invalid signature
the right way of doing it isn't immediately obvious to me;
any input would be appreciated;
sasha kapshuk.
