Changes by: Anonymous user Date: Thu 03/13/03 at 17:21 ------------------ Additional Follow-up Comments ---------------------------- i think booting /boot/loader directly instead of the kernel is a good thing. there are several kernel tunables that must be set by /boot/loader. also, for freebsd 5.0, /boot/loader loads stuff like the acpi module. it is not built into the kernel by default. i think the acpi stuff is special, though -- no other module is loaded by /boot/loader. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] =================== BUG #487: FULL BUG SNAPSHOT =================== Submitted by: okuji Project: GNU GRUB Submitted on: Tue 05/28/02 at 17:29 Category: Booting Severity: Major Priority: Normal Bug Group: Software Error Resolution: None Assigned to: None Status: Open Release: 0.92 Reproducibility: Every Time Planned Release: Summary: cannot boot FreeBSD directly Original Submission: GRUB cannot boot FreeBSD 3.4 or later directly. That's because GRUB assumes the old booting protocol, and FreeBSD kernel complains of it. Even though you can work around the problem by booting /boot/loader or chainloading the boot loader of FreeBSD, that's undesirable, because you cannot control how to boot FreeBSD, including netboot.
