OpenIndiana multiboot with : LMDE4, Devuan and W10

Hi

Here is the situation :

Tried OpenIndiana liveDVD, I liked it.
Decided to install it on a free partition. Other partitions are occupied by W10, LMDE4, Devuan
Rebooted to try the new install. Worked great.
The other partitions weren't present on the boot menu
Decided to boot a LMDE4 LiveDVD so I can boot-repair. It went well, however, the OpenIndiana partition wasn't there
I tried to seek a solution over the Internet. I saw a Solaris 10 menu entry. I did not implement it because it could be different.

So here the fdisk -l result :

Code:

root@linuxmintdebian:/home/joel# fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sda: 447,1 GiB, 480103981056 bytes, 937703088 sectors

/dev/sda8      538427455 651427776 113000322  53,9G bf Solaris

I'm not a progrmmer, or a linux geek. My talent is limited to terminal update and grub-update...

Thank you!
