+   <title>Detecting other operating systems</title>
+
+<para>
+
+Before a boot loader is installed, the installer will attempt to probe for
+other operating systems which are installed on the machine. If it finds a
+supported operating system, you will be informed of this during the boot
+loader installation step, and the computer will be configured to boot this
+other operating system in addition to Debian.
+
+</para><para>
+
+Note that multiple operating systems booting on a single machine is still
+something of a black art. The automatic support for detecting and setting
+up boot loaders to boot other operating systems varies by architecture and
+even by subarchitecture. If it does not work you should consult your
+boot manager's documentation for more information.

+
+The installer may fail to detect other operating systems if the partitions on
+which they reside are mounted when the detection takes place. This may occur if
+you select a mountpoint (e.g. /win) for a partition containing another operating
+system in <command>partman</command>, or if you have mounted partitions manually
+from a console.
