My take on this problem is that GRUB is not a boot loader. GRUB is a
kernel manager. A boot manager is what you want, I suggest you look at
GAG.

Then make sure that GRUB is installed once for each Linux installation.

Duncan is, however, wrong. Grub is a perfectly good boot loader. It can be
a kernel manager too, if you want. Grub is a lot easier to install than
gag (because it's an Ubuntu package) and Duncan's been shown before how to
make it behave exactly like gag.
