I use the gag boot manager in the mbr, and each linux install
has it's own boot loader in it's / partition.
The reason I do it this way, is that I tend to overwrite
existing installations, with each install.
If another install has a uuid reference to the overwritten
install, that other install have problems during boot,
when it can't find the overwritten uuid, even though none
of it's filesystems have been altered.
Using a single bootloader, with multiple linux installations,
with multiple kernels in each, just gets too messy.
Keeping each linux install separate is safer and easier to
maintain.
