You can use the chainloader for *BSD and still boot "all your operating systems". > Adding multiboot support to BSD will probably be easier for various > reasons if there is an all-BSD way of testing it (without any > strange non-BSD bootloader stuff like Grub). It will be easier to configure GRUB, but will introduce 100s of points of failure for both GRUB developers and *BSD users, as it will be a real pain to keep the stuff up-to-date and as e.g. the FreeBSD boot loader does a _lot_ more than just what's given in the multiboot specification (taken a quick look). Why add redundant functionality? Alex _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
