Don't know, I haven't tested it. I have tested the NetBSD boot loader, and it behaves in the same way as the FreeBSD boot loader. Like this: (FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD installed on different partitions on the same usb hard drive. Using "F12" on laptop bootup to get a boot menu, then selecting the usb hard drive, whivj brings up the boot loader on that usb hard drive) FreeBSD boot loader: boots NetBSD, OpenBSD, but not FreeBSD NetBSD boot loader: boots NetBSD, OpenBSD, but not FreeBSD See messages with the subject "Install FreeBSD on an external (usb) hard drive?" in the archives of freebsd-mobile for more information. I hope I don't need to test grub. Everytime I try it, I end up having to recover something (probably my fault). I'm really not comfortable with grub. -- Regards Torfinn Ingolfsen, Norway
