about dual booting freebsd 9 and debian 6.04
dear all,
ear All
I am trying dual boot on my pc.I have installed freeBSD 9.0 and Debian
6.0.4. I did not install boot loader while installing freebsd but i
installed grub in debian. My partition looks as follow :
ada074GBGPT
ada0p1 2.1 GB linux-swap
ada0p2 30GBfreebsd-ufs
ada0p3 42GBlinux-data
I could login to debian and edited the file /etc/grub.d/40_custom in debian.
[I]
#!/bin/sh
exec tail -n +3 $0
menuentry ‘FreeBSD 9.0 '{
set root='(hd0,2)'
chainloader +1
}
[/I]
And when i reboot i can see the frebsd 9.0 but it does not boot.It gives
the following error:
[I]
error: unknown command ''.
error: unknown command ''.
press any key to continue...
[/I]
My harddisk is SCSI. Am i having problem with drive letter hd0?If its a
problem what could be appropriate drive letter?
regards
dbase

How about if you make sure you have os-prober installed and run 'update-grub' ;) Kind regards, Andrei -- Offtopic discussions among Debian users and developers: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/d-community-offtopic signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Your setup looks correct, but you need to create a file in /etc/grub.d and follow the instructions as per http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/16886/set-up-grub2-to-boot-freebsd-using-either-ubuntu-tools-or-liveusb-to-find-what-p . A simple Google search for grub2 freebsd would have gotten you there as well ;) Best, -- Rares Aioanei -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
