Any tips? I want to install #debian sid on a second drive next to trixie.
Trixie will be my main system. How do I add sid to trixies grub?

@inlovewithpda@chaos.social I don’t remember if Debian disabled os-prober or not, but check /etc/default/grub and make sure it runs os-prober and as root run “update-grub” on the main system. If correct, it should show all the kernels for each install and at a reboot should offer both installations.

@inlovewithpda@chaos.social IMHO the most convenient way is using grub-customizer (https://packages.debian.org/trixie/amd64/grub-customizer) which provides a UI rather than the manual way of editing the entries in /etc/grub.d and running update-grub.
