-----Original Message----- From: "Henning, Brian" <brian.henning@navitaire.com> To: FreeBSD-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Date: Wed, 1 May 2002 12:59:40 -0500=20 Subject: grub-freebsd Hello- I am trying to setup grub on my celeron 333 to duel boot bsd and w2k. The machine has one hard drive; w2k is on the first partition and freebsd is on the second partition. I installed the grub package in freebsd. Then I then created a grub floppy by using dd to copy stage1 and stage2 to a floppy. I can boot from the floppy into grub, but from that point I am a little fuzzy on what to do next. I know I have to chainload w2k from reading the docs. I have a general idea on what some of the commands do. Can someone point me i= n the right direction on what to do next? _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ You'll want to make a /boot/grub directory and copy some files into it. Yo= u'll also want to create a menu.lst file in that directory that will conf= igure the boot menu. (The menu.lst file is the one that contains the "ch= ainloader +1" stuff.) For details, you can either go to the grub home page (it's on the Gnu softw= are pages) to read the documentation, or type info grub on your machine. = (Navigation in info pages may be a bit strange for you, which is why you= may want to try the web-based version first.) Read this stuff *thorough= ly*, since messing up a boot manager can leave you with a non-bootable ma= chine. Then please do come back to this list with any questions, and/or = there's a grub mailing list linked from grub's web pages that I think is = searchable through Google Groups.
