Three-boot system Win XP - Linux RH - Free BSD does not work
Hello all,
I tried to mount FreeBSD on a dual-partition drive which has Win XP and RH (with a secret wish to eventually get rid of Win XP and RH ;-) coz' I LOVE the tidyness of the file system of FBSD).
Here is what I did :
1. Originally, the dual boot Win - RH is controlled by Gruber.
2. I repartitioned the disk with Partition Magic to free some space for FBSD,
3. I installed FreeBSD with and chose the bootloader to be installed.
When I reboot, Gruber is still there (FBSD does not appear) and I cannot even see my FBSD partition. What did I do wrong ?
Search then post (if not found) also on freebsd-fr mailing-list.
En français dans le texte, recherches sur le site FreeBSD-fr pour voir si cela n'a pas déjà été évoqué dans la liste de diffusion. Sinon abonnes-toi, regardes un peu ce qu'il s'y passe et envoies une question. Surtout réfléchis bien à la tournure de ta question avant de la poser, relis le handbook, sur le site en français, dans la rubrique installation, tu devrais trouver ce qui a foiré lors de ton install. En fait, je pense que ton bootloader n'a pas été installé. D'autre part, as-tu marqué la partition root comme bootable ? En tout cas, vu certains threads sortis sur la liste il y a peu, il vaut mieux avoir une question bien précise et ne pas s'offusquer d'une réponse en "man ..." ou "lis le handbook". Sinon, en dernier recours, écris-moi ;-)
