G'day there One & All,
To those who followed this thread and offered assistance, I now send my
thanks. I've finally got FreeBSD 4.8 up and running. I still don't know what I did
wrong, as I'm sure that lilo.conf is exactly the same as I had it yesterday and I
couldn't get it to work at

OK then. Makes sense. My work (Government) used

Just a thought, but if it is just booting, they you may be in trouble.
You should have set up the bootmanager in FreeBSD to that partition
where FreeBSD is installed.
Then you use LILO to point to
other = /dev/hdx#
label = "FreeBSD"
You do not need to be able to mount te partition to boot it.
What version of FreeBSD are you running?
I'm asking because starting with 5.0, UFS2 is included, and you will
need support for that in Linux if you used it.
The UFS(1) module will not mount UFS2 slices.
Maybe this link can help:

You have to add ufs filesystem support in the kernel. Under partition
types you have to add PC B

Err... No, I didn't. Never even thought about kernel support. I think the
kernel should just intuitively know what I'm trying to do & make adjustments to itself
accordingly =)

Hmmm... hadn't thought of kernel support. It's an obvious one now that

Did you check under the kernel build options. There are options for adding
file systems but I don't konw if FreeBSD is there.

G'day there Gentoo List Members,
I originally wrote a query in this message inquiring into non-root access, but
before sending it I found the answer in the forums. I've now fixed that problem
(thanks very much to the Gentoo community), but I still have one to go and I'm
stumped..
