As I already wrote, there is nothing to explain as it is done by default and unconditionally.

What do I need to do during or after the Solaris installation? What files do I need to edit? I need all this information.

Just do nothing specific and you'll be set.

Hi,

Ok, and please correct me wrong here.

Is that why GRUB did NOT set a menu selection for Windows and Solaris because I was using an old release version of Solaris???
So when I install the new release, then how would I know where to setup the menu options for GRUB? Is it after or during installation?

Or, will it bootup the GRUB dual-boot menu automatically when I restart the machine?

There was no GRUB installed but a different boot loader. I don't remember what was its behavior with Windows partitions.

As I already wrote a couple of times, there is nothing to setup.

Neither.
