You completely misunderstand or just explained it badly in the first place.
I have 1 hd partitioned like this:
Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x93900d8b
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 1 8486 68163763+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2 * 8487 19457 88124557+ 5 Extended
/dev/sda5 8487 8881 3172806 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda6 8882 14148 42307146 83 Linux
/dev/sda7 14149 19457 42644511 83 Linux
I also had 1 usb device connected which is where the installer was running
from. I had dd the .iso to it.
sda6 is Linux Mint
sda7 openSUSE 11.3 M4
So for the install
(hd0) = the main HD
(hd1) = the USB drive containing the live openSUSE CD
This is the menu entry the installer made for mint
###Don't change this comment - YaST2 identifier: Original name: Linux other###
title Linux other
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
chainloader +1
I totally understand Grub, not a problem, OK. But the installer placed an entry
in the menu for the Live CD running in the USB.
Initially I was thinking the installer thought this was Mint, but maybe it
missed Mint totally and just placed the boot option for the live cd.
If it did miss Mint, that's not good because I had a mount point for it in the
partitioner.
For the time being I dropped SUSE Grub and re-installed the Mint Grub 2. I have
it working just fine.
