Installing grub on lvm logical volume for chainloading into

[Florent Becker]

Hi list,

my configuration is the following: I have a single hard disk with several lvm
logical volumes. I have a working grub in the mbr, managed by my debian
installation. I'd like to install nixOS onto another logical volume, and give it
its own instance of grub (so that the two distributions do not fight over the
configuration of grub when I upgrade either of them). The main grub would then
chainload the nixOS grub which would boot nixOS. The problem is I'm not sure
where/how to install that slave grub. Is it possible to put it somewhere on the
nixOS logical volume? How can I tell grub-install to do so?

Thanks,
