Dual Boot Slackware 13 with FreeBSD, but Issue Dual Booting PC-BSD
Greetings,
Recently with the help of others I installed Slackware 13 and FreeBSD 7.2, modified the lilo.conf file to add FreeBSD, works great. Last night I stumbled across PC-BSD and decided to install it on my 500GB drive since there was an unused 186GB out there. Everything seemed to go just fine, no bootloader installed with PC-BSD, so I added another entry to the Slackware lilo.conf and I got an error which I will list after saying that: Deciding that something is amiss with PC-BSD on sda4 I deleted sda3 and sda4 which leaves nothing but linux on the box. I reinstall PC-BSD and the partition is sda3 just like the FreeBSD was and after I update lilo I still get: -------------------------------SNIP----------------------------- Warning: LBA32 addressing assumed Added Linux * Warning: Device 0x0800: Inconsistent partition table, 3rd entry CHS address in PT: 954:5:1 --> LBA (15326325) LBA address in PT: 392162715 --> CHS (24411:0:1) Fatal: Either FIX-TABLE or IGNORE-TABLE must be specified If not sure, first try IGNORE-TABLE (-P ignore) -------------------------------SNIP----------------------------- I have no clue what any of the FIX-TABLE, etc. is referencing. I went looking for man pages but nothing. The LBA32 Waring has always been there. Please pardon me for cross posting this message to FreeBSD and a Linux forum. :-) Thanks for any help. Photon 10/23/09AM I wanted to include this update. I once again deleted partitions 2 and 3 and installed FreeBSD 8.0 RC1 after Slackware ran lilo and it worked great. There is *SOMETHING* going on with "PC-BSD". Has to be, unless I'm proven wrong which I'm accustomed to. :-) The expected working output I get is: Warning: LBA32 addressing assumed Added Linux * Added FreeBSD Thanks to McSlack for his ideas. I haven't tried them yet but I think it's a PC-BSD issue. Cheers |

Since PCBSD is a modofied version of FreeBSD, you have to follow a dual boot setup of two BSD releases setup before setting up grub or lilo.
