Adding boot menu entry for UEFI Firmware Settings ...
done
here from the above image, you can see all my existing partitions
after clicking on this automatic option there. it automatically created root, boot partition within this 30GB space.
and it is also detecting existing /boot/efi partition without format option
SO HERE MY MAIN QUESTION:
if I go with this approach will it impact my existing grub menu?
or it will create a fedora entry there?
please suggest as I don’t want any risk now because in existing manjaro I have some work-related dependencies don’t want to loose that
First: Backup any valuable data.

Hope, my second solution works, as one of the last postings tells “solved”.
The parts for Manjaro linux should be in /boot/grub/grub.cfg
Chainloading of ONE system is required AFAIK.
(One system is the Big Boss - the other the humble slave)
and so on…
.
the /boot/efi/ of manjaro must be used - finaly even Windoofs uses this location
if started from Manjaro by chainloading (that is the normal way).
Do not format existing /boot/efi/ partition - “use” is the correct thing… nvme0n1p8 is your master.
Add GRUB_ENABLE_BLSCFG=false to /etc/default/grub in ur fedora installation and update grub in Fedora. If it is already in there then change ‘true’ to ‘false’ and update grub in fedora
Thanks.2nd option of automatic partition worked.
ON BIOS UEFI menu i can see fedora entry along side manjaro. By changing boot order i can boot in to fedora.
But manjaro grub menu still not displaying fedora entry don’t know why.
And but from fedora grub menu i can see manjaro , windows . But manjaro is not booting from fedora stuck on black screen.
Anyway i just want to boot and test os on small partition. not using this for regular usage
