next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I've been using this successfully for months, and I thought it might be useful
to others out there.
This patch to boot0 that provides WinNT/Win2k/WinXP named support in the boot
loader. It does it at the expense of dropping named support for Hurd. The
same patch applies to either -STABLE or -CURRENT.
At the moment, if you dual-boot FreeBSD/Win2k, in the boot loader shows ???
for Win2k. This is because it doesn't recognise the NTFS partition. This
patch adds that back into the loader. Since the loader is *very* tight on
space, I've dropped named support for Hurd. It will still work, but now Hurd
will show up as ???.
I'd like for this to actually get into the tree at some point, but until then,
you'll have to apply it manually.
Phil.
