Just because OpenBSD doesn't support it doesn't mean that it is "such nonsense." However since there are plenty of other boot managers out there, many of which support this configuration, there is no need for OpenBSD's boot loader to support it, as this just duplicates work. > Sorry. > I AM NOT AN OPENBSD DEVELOPER > NEVER HAVE BEEN > NEVER WILL BE. > http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/~checkout~/ports/geo/openbsd-developers/files/OpenBSD Then there is no need to shout at everyone. > On Fri, Sep 23, 2016, at 06:57 AM, Lampshade wrote: > > I have installed OpenBSD before it had UEFI support, > > so I installed in Legacy Boot mode (I have UEFI capable > > laptop). > > I personally use Grub2 installed via > > debian live amd64 standard image. > > > > I don't have Gnu/Linux installed. > > I only have bootloader from Debian. > > > > I have Windows 8.1 and OpenBSD amd64. > > > > # cat /mnt/ext2/grub/grub.cfg \ > > > | grep -v -e ^# -e ^[:space:]*$ > > GRUB_DEFAULT=0 > > GRUB_TIMEOUT=5 > > GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian` > > GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet" > > GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" > > menuentry "Windows" --class os { > > set root=(hd0,2) > > chainloader (hd0,msdos2)+1 > > } > > menuentry "OpenBSD" { > > set root=(hd0,4) > > chainloader +1 > > } > > > > Grub2 is faster than Windows bootloader.
