One approach is to start with a boo.table GRUB disk and install GRUB in the MBR of sc;la. This way the boot partition is not associated with any distribution. But let us take a simpler alternative and let the first distro install the boot loader for us. This way, the dedicated Iboot partition gets associated with the first distribution but that does not make any material difference to the boot interface.

To keep things systematic and under control, start by installing the first distribution. Using Table 2 as a cue, install the first distro by providing the indicated mount points for the respective partitions. For this distro you will install GRUB in the MER and use sdal as Iboot. For all other distros, GRUB goes into the "first sector of the boot partition". The (F) next to each partition indicates it needs to be formatted .. Note carefully that from the second distro onwards, you need to format only the" I" partition. Remember this, lest you end up losing data that already exists in the Ihome or Itmp partitions.
