Dual boot linux/openBsd
Hi there, i have installed openbsd along with linux.
I use lilo and the openbsd partition is declared like that other=/dev/hda3 label="OpenBsd" When i boot on it i have the message "bad magic", how can i resolve that ? I know it's a common problem but didn't find the answer, any explanation or links appreciated. ++ |
i believe *BSD requires a boot loader (most os' do), but what or where that is i couldn't tell you (check out http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq4.html#MkFlop). but what you'll want to do is find that file and copy it to your Linux partition and name it something like /boot/bsd.b. then in your lilo.conf file you'll need these lines:
other=/dev/hda3 label="OpenBsd" loader=/boot/bsd.b verigoth |
If you fixed this, please post it as I think it might help others.

Hi bax,
I guess the problem was that openbsd kernel can't be located after the 8th Gig. So here's what i did for my multiboot hda1 /boot 15mo hda2 /openbsd a few gig hda3 logical a few gig /hda5 / /hda6 /swap /hda7 /usr /hda8 /var /hda9 /home hda4 /windows a few gig So now i have a multiboot with debian, openbsd and windows, maybe there are better ways to do but this one works fine.
