https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+question/76099

    Status: Open => Answered

Tom proposed the following answer:
Ok, so going back into the Ubuntu's menu.lst by typing in

cd /boot/grub
sudo gedit menu.lst

we can try adding some lines to boot into openSUSE :)
although i think we should change which line of the menu is the default at the same time (or rather keep it the same despite having added an extra line in front.  Argh, you'll understand what i mean when you see it).  Ok, so change this section

"
howmany=2
color cyan/blue white/blue

## ## End Default Options ##
"

to look like this

"
howmany=2
color cyan/blue white/blue

title openSUSE on sda3
root (hd0,2)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16.60-0.33-smp root=/dev/sda3
initrd /boot/intrd-2.6.16.60-0.33-smp

## ## End Default Options ##
"

Also right back at the start of the file it says

"
# menu.lst - See: grub(8), info grub, update-grub(8)
# grub-install(8), grub-floppy(8),
# grub-md5-crypt, /usr/share/doc/grub
# and /usr/share/doc/grub-doc/.

## default num
# Set the default entry to the entry number NUM. Numbering starts from 0, and
# the entry number 0 is the default if the command is not used.
#
# You can specify 'saved' instead of a number. In this case, the default entry
# is the entry saved with the command 'savedefault'.
# WARNING: If you are using dmraid do not use 'savedefault' or your
# array will desync and will not let you boot your system.
default 0
"

please change this last line to

default 1

Ok, save and hopefully that will do the trick but we might have to fine
tune it a bit - unless it works straight away of course but nothing has
so far so i wouldn't expect this to either ;) lol

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)
