Belenix: Where is the grub configuration?

Hello, I am new to solaris, just installed the latest beleniX-Distro on hd. Works fine so far, but where is the grub configuration, I want to add my Linuxsystem to it.
I found /boot/grub/menu.lst.detailed, this seems to be the version from the LiveCD, with many entries, when I boot the box, I have only two options: standard and single user, so it comes from another file, but where is it?
Here some system infos:
Code:
bash-4.2$ uname -a
SunOS c2000 5.11 BeleniX0.7.1 i86pc i386 i86pc Solaris
bash-4.2$ ls /boot/grub/
belenixboot.xpm.gz  iso9660_stage1_5   stage1
bin                 jfs_stage1_5       stage2
capability          menu.lst.detailed  stage2_eltorito
default             minix_stage1_5     ufs2_stage1_5
e2fs_stage1_5       nbgrub             ufs_stage1_5
fat_stage1_5        pxegrub            vstafs_stage1_5
ffs_stage1_5        reiserfs_stage1_5  xfs_stage1_5
install_menu        splash.xpm.gz      zfs_stage1_5
bash-4.2$

Thanks for any hint.

Ah, I see... rpool is the right place (never seen on linux). Thank you, next question: How can I mount my Linuxpartition under Solaris? (I must look, whats the exact kernel file name) The partition is located at second primary part. on first hard disk (/dev/hda2 with linux words)
Thanks again

Assuming you are using ext2/ext3fs, have a look at the device used by your root pool (zpool status) and replace the last s0 by p2.

eg: c10d1s0 -> /dev/dsk/c10d1p2

Make sure the ext2 read-only support is installed (fswpart/fswmisc packages).

Thank you. The mounting fails with some error (dont remember already). I used a Knoppix to see the kernel name, played with grub, but it was not successfull. Finally I installed a linux grub on the partition and added a "chainloader +1" line to the Solaris grub, located on mbr. Now both systems are bootable, works for me.
Thanks again and have a nice weekend.
