Hey guys,
short and precisely: How can I add a volume from another HDD to the Darwin Bootloader?
Or is there any "better" bootloader for Leo?

Author Update #1 @crawle 2008-01-27

There's no way to add a volume - or there's no "better" bootloader?

Author Update #2 @crawle 2008-01-27

I know that. But I've got an additional ATA-HDD, which's partitions aren't shown.

Field Note #1 @Puttabong 2008-01-27

Boot up. When you see the Darwin/X86 booting prompt press the F8 Key.
You can choose which OS X partition to boot of.

If you want to dual or triple boot with Operating Systems other than OS X,
then read the Tutorials/Guides on how to do it.

Field Note #2 @damnesiac 2008-02-03

It's easier to use a Vista bootloader. Google EasyBCD and use that utility to boot your OSX partition.

Field Note #3 @onAir 2008-02-05

u can set the default hdd to boot off in the bios settings
my bios allows to press f11 during self-test to choose the boot drive
...just if u dont want a bootmanager
