With system-boot, you should not need any special
|

|
configuration to detect other installed systems. With

|
GRUB, set

|
<xref linkend="opt-boot.loader.grub.useOSProber" /> to

<literal>true</literal>, but this will only detect

windows partitions, not other linux distributions. If

you dual boot another linux distribution, use
|
||||||
|
system-boot instead.
