GRUB-legacy and GRUB2

ONEEYEMANJun 9 2014 — edited Jun 17 2014

Hi, ALL,

I have a question about GRUB that is installed alone with Solaris 11.1.

My disk has a GPT label and it has 5 partitions. The first four is used for Linux which uses GRUB2. When I installed Linux I installed GRUB2 as well and it was installed in the MBR thru the grub2-install.

Now Solaris is installed in the fifth partition and it uses GRUB-legacy which after the installation over-wrote GRUB2 in the MBR. This is because after Solaris install and reboot I see GRUB-legacy from Solaris.

Is it correct understanding?

If that is true, then:

Now when I boot Linux and re-issue grub2-install it will overwrite the MBR with the GRUB2.

Is this second statement correct?

Thank you for the answers.
