Hi all

I have compiled and installed grub-0.97.tar.gz on FreeBSD 7.0 (i386).

It shows the grub cannot recognize ufs2 file systems.

grub> root (hd1,0,
 Possible partitions are:
   Partition num: 0, [BSD sub-partitions immediately follow]
     BSD Partition num: 'a',  Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0xa5
     BSD Partition num: 'b',  Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0xa5
     BSD Partition num: 'd',  Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0xa5
     BSD Partition num: 'e',  Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0xa5
     BSD Partition num: 'f',  Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0xa5

All stage1, stage2 and *_stage1_5 are in /boot/grub/.

The fstype used for bsdlabel for b is swap and for others its 4.2BSD.

Files systems were created as follows:
newfs -U /dev/ad2s1a
newfs /dev/ad2s1d
newfs -U /dev/ad2s1e
newfs -U /dev/ad2s1f

Do others experience this issue? Do I need to patch the Grub to recognize ufs2 file systems?

Your reply is very much appreciated.

Kind regards
Unga
