Re: Installing a new system....
I've tried LILO for multi-boot Windows/Linux/FBSD, and have found it to be a headache. You're better off with GRUB, in my opinion. A decent introductory article about GRUB can be found here: http://www2.linuxjournal.com/lj-issues/issue85/4622.html regards, Robert On Thu, 6 May 2004 12:00:47 +0200 "Willem Jan Withagen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > - Original Message - > From: "Steven Hartland" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > > Planning to just add FreeBSD to the grub boot menu. > > > > Steve > > > > - Original Message - > > From: "Willem Jan Withagen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Sent: Wednesday, May 05, 2004 4:50 PM > > Subject: Installing a new system > > > > > > > When thing go as planned I'm getting my dual opteron system this week. > > > So it is time to start planning > > > > > > What I'm wanting to dump on it: > > > FBSD AMD64 > > > FBSD i386 > > > Win2K i386 > > > Win2k x86_ Beta > > > perhaps > > > linux-amd64 > > > (note it has a 200Gb disk) > > > > > > What bootmanager should I use. > > Anybody tried LILO for these kinds of excercises?? > > --WjW > > ___ > [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Re: Installing a new system....
Just doing exactly that. Order so far: XP i386, XP 64 (beta), Linux i386, Linux 64 Still to do FreeBSD. You must do XP i386 first as the boot loader for XP 64 is more up to date. Linux i386 need ACPI disabled here MS-9245 series machine dual 246 with 4GB. Not having much luck with FreeBSD at as I cant get a release to compile looks like the docs package / generation is broken. Was building with: make release \ BUILDNAME=5.2.1-RELEASE-p5 \ CHROOTDIR=/usr/local/release-5.2 \ CVSROOT=/home/ncvs \ RELEASETAG=RELENG_5_2 \ NOPORTS=YES \ DOC_LANG=en_US.ISO8859-1 \ MAKE_ISOS=1 \ CD_EXTRA_BITS=1 now trying: make release \ BUILDNAME=5.2.1-RELEASE-p5 \ CHROOTDIR=/usr/local/release-5.2 \ CVSROOT=/home/ncvs \ RELEASETAG=RELENG_5_2 \ DOC_LANG=en_US.ISO8859-1 \ MAKE_ISOS=1 \ CD_EXTRA_BITS=1 i.e. with all ports. Previous failed on jade and then on numberous others moaning about libtool and various other libraries. Planning to just add FreeBSD to the grub boot menu.
