am currently trying to install FreeBSD 9 on my Lenovo X220 and noticed that the link on this page in the FreeBSD Handbook is broken:

See the header at the top of that page. There is a new chapter for installing 9.0 and later. The equivalent section is

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/bsdinstall-pre.html

Oh ok.....

Anyway as I'm familiar with BSD 8.x I did the install without reading!!

My issue was really to find the .img file for USB booting.


All done now but can't seem to get Fedora 16's GRUB to boot BSD 9.0.... I guess it's time to consult the documentation after all; even though Google'ing provided results that didn't yield answers as the Linux GRUB can't find the partition/slice combo???

The default install of FreeBSD 9 uses GPT, so there are no slices or FreeBSD (bsdlabel) partitions. Instead of ad0s1a, it would just be ada0p2. Don't know what Linux calls these partitions, though.

Tried chainloading but that didn't work either probably as no boot-loader got loaded into the PBR by default.

If you want multiboot on a GPT drive, grub2 seems to be the solution. (But I haven't tested it.)
