On my computer, I have Windows 8.1, Linux Mint, and recently Arch Linux, installed in a partition scheme like so

/dev/sda1      SYSTEM (Win 8 bootloader, BCD, etc.)
/dev/sda2      Windows 8.1
/dev/sda3      Extended
   /dev/sda6   /home
   /dev/sda8   Linux Mint
   /dev/sda9   Arch Linux
   /dev/sda10  /boot (Grub 2)

When I installed Linux Mint, I installed GRUB2 to a /boot partition. I then installed Arch, and overwrote the information in /boot with grub-mkconfig.

It’s now impossible to boot into Mint. I can boot Windows fine, but when I select Mint in the GRUB2 menu, it loads Arch instead. There’s things I would like to use Mint for, but I am unable to now. This is on a BIOS install.

How can I get back into Linux Mint?
