Truecrypt bootloader and multiboot capability

[chrstrbrts]

Hello,

For the guys who use Truecrypt to encrypt their system drives, how does the Truecrypt bootloader work exactly?

I think that the TC bootloader overwrites the bootloader from the MBR and puts its own bootloader there.

After you enter the correct password, the TC bootloader carries on doing what the original bootloader would have.

But what about multiboot situations?

If you had Linux and Windows installed together, the MBR would be replaced with GRUB or LILO.

But what happens if you encrypt a system drive with multiple OSes on it?

Can Truecrypt multiboot?

Why don't you just read up on bootloaders on wiki?
Basically the TC bootloader is the first stage and that would then load up the second stage that would be GRUB or LILO or whatever.
