Triple-Boot Setup, Chimera doesn't see Ubuntu on other hard drive!

[Pie]

Should be a simple answer, I hope. I have a small 160GB HHD running Mountain Lion, with Chimera installed. This is my main boot drive. I also have a larger 500GB drive with Windows, and a small ext4 partition -- that's where Ubuntu is installed.

I installed Ubuntu without GRUB so I could use Chimera to boot into linux. The only problem is that Chimera can see Windows and OS X, but not Ubuntu.

Any help iz appreciated.

You have to install GRUB to a partition. Then Chimera will recognize that partition as bootable Linux.

Alright, done. Works. Any way I can bypass GRUB so I don't have to go thru 2 bootloaders?
