BSD booting

(1/6) > >>

Master of Reality:
I just installed FreeBSD on my computer on my second hd without letting it touch the MBR. I am using GRUB and didnt make a bootdisk when i installed BSD. What do I need to put in the GRUB.conf so that it will boot FreeBSD?

Also... What parition type do i put when trying to mount my FreeBSD partition from red hat? or is it possible?

Master of Reality:
hmmmm.... maybe i should take off FreeBSD and put windows in its place?

Shame you're not using LILO, because then I might be able to help you. (You boot FreeBSD using LILO in exactly the same way as you'd boot Windows using LILO.)

As far as I know, it isn't. FreeBSD does bizarre things with an extended partition. Slices and what-have-you. It's a mystery to me.

Master of Reality:
okay.... how do i take off GRUB and put on LILO, then put my RedHat and FreeBSD bottable from LILO??

Master of Reality:
if i just run 'lilo' will it overwrite GRUB?
