For LILO: Boot into linux and add this at the end of /etc/lilo.conf: other=/dev/hda2 label=freebsd [ i think ] For GRUB: Get into the grub> prompt, then type this: root (hd0,2,a) kernel /boot/loader boot YMMV. > > Thanks. > > Regards, > Mike > keeper@neo.rr.com > > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
