As a proof of concept, I would like to create a single Parallels (Desktop for Mac 10) virtual machine and have it dual boot into two different Linux distributions.
The distros I am targeting are Simplicity Linux and Peppermint OS. Both are Ubuntu derivatives, but each has different features. If I am able to do this, I will then do a dual-boot install onto an old netbook computer I have.
I am able to install either distro, but I can't find how to make the installed distro recognize the .ISO file. On a PC platform, one interrupts the boot process at the BIOS level to specify the boot device. I can't seem to do this in Parallels.
I may not have phrased the question properly, but I think I've given the gist of my query. To recap: Is there a way to install two Linux distros onto a single Parallels virtual machine and then be able to choose from the GRUB menu when it boots?
Thanks!
