When you feel lost or need the gritty details, head over to the systemd documentation, which is pretty extensive.

Multi-Boot Disk for Machines With AMD Opteron Processors

This article presents step-by-step procedures for loading the Solaris 10 OS on x86 platforms, and one or two 64-bit Linux operating systems, on machines based on 64-bit AMD Opteron processors. Installations were done on generic Opteron-based workstations and confirmed on a Sun Fire V20z server and Sun Java Workstation W1100z and W2100z workstations.
