Sorry for previous typo in From: line, missing right angle bracket at end. Then, in a finger error, I resent that message just before finding the error and making the needed correction. from Devin Teske: > I'm late to the party again ;D (didn't realize the rcs thread had turned BE) > Both problems can be solved. > The loading of the kernel *after* choosing your boot device is trivial. > We've been doing it at $work for *years* (almost a decade?) > I can put that in, whenever. Probably at the same time as implementing > the live/dynamic BE menus for selecting the root device. I'd like to know how to boot FreeBSD >= 9.1 with grub2. Following the instructions under $PORTSDIR/sysutils/grub2 insmod ufs2 set root=(hd0,gpt3) kfreebsd /boot/loader boot stopped working around FreeBSD 9.1-stable. I used Super Grub2 Disk image on the System Rescue CD written to USB stick. Recently, I built sysutils/grub2, ran mkrescue, wrote that image to the System Rescue USB stick and made the entry in /syslinux/syslinux.cfg, but haven't tested that yet. What is the method you or PC-BSD uses? I want to use it on FreeBSD 9.2 and 10-current. I tried visiting pcbsd.org website but couldn't find any details. Tom
