hmm, if you had left your initial message quoted, I wouldn't have written this reply... To understand your requirements correctly:
- There's an MBR on the disk which you want to leave intact - The MBR is able to boot the activated partition - The Linux installation should go in some arbitrary partition which should be activated by the bootloader-install
Is this what you want?
right! The MBR should just boot the activated partition. The grub code
should reside on the root partition. Thus, when I install Windows on
one of the hosts, it wouldn't overwrite grub (as it is not in the MBR)
and I just need to activate the root partition with fdisk from within
Windows to get grub back.
That's how we did it with lilo so far.
Now I tried
<bootloader>
<global>
