Those are a good start. Adding a second OS is no easy task as it was in
grub1 and not covered directly there, AFAIK.

That makes sense, but as it stands there is not information enough in
the base distro (lenny) to be able to add another OS
/boot/grub/grub.cfg is automagically generated so changes cannot go
there as in grub1. e.g.
menuentry "Chainload OpenBSD" {
set root=(hd0,3)
chainloader +1
}
There is in /etc/grub.d/ some shellscripts-from-hell for 10_linux and
10_hurd. Having some recipes there for {Open|Net|Free|DragonFly}BSD,
QNX and OpenSolaris could be another way to solve the problem while we
wait for documentation from upstream.
