Yes. BeleniX uses the Grub bootloader that allows you to boot other operating systems. Currently BeleniX will install it’s own Grub into the MBR and overwrite the original bootloader. The Grub configuration file in BeleniX is /rpool./boot/grub/menu.lst which can be modified to add entries for other operating systems. BeleniX can currently auto-detect Windows partitions and add boot entries for those. Ability to detect Linux partitions and add proper boot entries will be added going forward. Also, refer http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/belenix-discuss/2008-August/000706.html for a discussion on dual-booting BeleniX with Linux An excellent resource that deals with multibooting OpenSolaris with other OSes is http://multiboot.solaris-x86.
