RE[4]: Gentoo needs fresh blood

The aforementioned OS's bootloaders work seemlessly with dual-boots or more.
I don't think the issue was with GRUB's capabilities, i think it was with the installer overwriting the MBR with a new GRUB image - thus wiping the old image and any boot mappings it had.
Trying to restore an existing Linux install after GRUB has been wiped can often be a complete nightmare.
