How to see FreeBSD with Grub
Note: I also placed this on the debian forum.
Hello, I have 3 hard drives and installed FreeBSD on one of them today. During install, I chose to leave my Debian grub boot record untouched. I'm having trouble figuring out how to list the BSD drive in grub for boot up (basically what to add for the root line). Here is my menu.lst file now: ## ## End Default Options ## title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.24-1-686 root (hd1,2) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.24-1-686 root=/dev/hde1 ro quiet initrd /initrd.img-2.6.24-1-686 title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.24-1-686 (single-user mode) root (hd1,2) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.24-1-686 root=/dev/hde1 ro quiet single initrd /initrd.img-2.6.24-1-686 title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.22-3-686 root (hd1,2) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.22-3-686 root=/dev/hde1 ro quiet initrd /initrd.img-2.6.22-3-686 title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.22-3-686 (single-user mode) root (hd1,2) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.22-3-686 root=/dev/hde1 ro quiet single initrd /initrd.img-2.6.22-3-686 ### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST # This is a divider, added to separate the menu items below from the Debian # ones. title Other operating systems: root # This entry automatically added by the Debian installer for a non-linux OS # on /dev/hda1 title FreeBSD- 7.0 Release root (hd2) savedefault makeactive chainloader +1 title Microsoft Windows XP Professional: Necessary Evil root (hd0,0) savedefault makeactive chainloader +1 Thanks, ab |
Ok, after trial and error and many reboots the following entry worked:
