Hi guys
I have been reading documentation and I'm still
confused.
I have Windows on ad0 and FreeBSD on ad2
I installed the BSD bootloader but it is only booting
Windows.
There is some limitation or problem and no matter what
I try in the emergency shell I cannot configure
boot0cfg to work properly.
So I need two solutions to try:
How do I configure the BSD boot loader to work to boot
both Windows and FreeBSD? I have tried commands like
boot0cfg -B -s 2 ad2 and it doesn't seem to help or
boot
I think what you want is:
test54# boot0cfg -B -s 5 ad0
test54# boot0cfg -B -s 1 ad2
If you reboot, you should end up booting from the first slice on ad2.
This is what everything looks like on one of my test boxes:
test54# boot0cfg -v ad4
# flag start chs type end chs offset size
1 0x00 0: 1: 1 0x07 1023:254:63 63 20964762
2 0x80 1023:255:63 0xa5 1023:254:63 20964825 20964825
3 0x00 1023:255:63 0x07 1023:254:63 41929650 61432560
4 0x00 1023:255:63 0xa5 1023: 80:63 103362210 287359758
version=1.0 drive=0x80 mask=0xf ticks=182
options=packet,update,nosetdrv
default_selection=F5 (Drive 1)
test54# boot0cfg -v ad6
# flag start chs type end chs offset size
1 0x80 0: 1: 1 0xa5 1023:254:63 63 156296322
version=1.0 drive=0x80 mask=0xf ticks=182
options=packet,update,nosetdrv
default_selection=F1 (Slice 1)
Not exactly the same as your setup, but close. On ad4, 1 is windows,
2 is FreeBSD, 3 and 4 are non-bootable. On ad6, 1 is FreeBSD.

Second solution:
Stand-alone GRUB install
How can I install GRUB stand-alone? How do I install
it into /boot? I guess /boot = some mounted partition
of a unix OS?
Would it be best to make /boot under the existing
FreeBSD partition?
The more exact details the better. I've been
scratching my head over this for days
thx!
