If I were to install another multiboot computer, I would first create a small Linux system (5..10 G) with the main grub booter, loading the grubs of each other system installed, as in the above entry. This partition would double as rescue system.
This is problably what you call a "main loader"?
It really isn't necessary to install a full system to have a main bootloader. On a new HD I first partition, then boot Knoppix, from which I create a filesystem on at least my realboot partition plus the swapper, and untar what needs to go in /boot/grub plus a 100% penguin /boot/message. Then I open the Grub Legacy shell to run setup, after which I fetch the first installation kernel/initrd set(s) I will use to install an OS.
Correct. But why go thru all this hoopla when you can do this from an already installed system and save all this time in installing from Knoppix etc?
