The error cannot be found in the sourcecode. Can you provide the *exact* error? Providing a kernel might help as well. >> Do you want to work on a loader for BSD?

Read how the loader should work (*BSD documents), get a test kernel, write a loader and see if it works. Possibly on qemu, dprintf helps a lot for debugging. -- Marco _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
