Good afternoon, Has anyone installed two BSD (say -RELEASE and -STABLE) on the same disk on the same UEFI machine using rEFInd? Setting up dual booting - Windows 10 and FreeBSD-whatever - via rEFInd is just a matter of bcdediting a path and copying the appropriate .efi files. (duh). The /boot/boot1.efi copied in \EFI\FreeBSD-STABLE does its job and loads the _first_ FreeBSD system, as says uefi(8). What if I want to boot _another_ FreeBSD system on the _same_ GPT-partitioned disk? Specifying the GUID of the partition in the menuentry stanza i.e. ... volume GPTGUID loader boot/boot1.efi .... isn't enough and does not work(TM). I suppose rEFInd_x64.efi can't access the second system without an appropriate ufs driver. There are, indeed, drivers for linux filesystems (ext2, ext4, etc.) in the rEFInd directory. And FreeBSD? How am I supposed to solve the problem _within_ FreeBSD with rEFInd? My apologies for the crazy/mad question and many thanks in advance for your help, pointers, suggestions.
