Hi, Just moved my main workstation from linux to FreeBSD 4.5RC2. I was comfortable using GRUB on linux but I haven't found good documention on configuring the FreeBSD boot loaders. From the docs freebsd installs something called booteasy which isn't configurable? There are hints of a highly configurable boot loader for freebsd in the docs plus I see files in /boot which have options in them. Where are examples on how it? Most of the docs I've found on the web are about using LILO or NT's boot loader. I can always install the port of grub but it doens't like netbsd which I'm going to load on the same machine. Current setup is: /dev/da0s1 freebsd 4.5 slice(whole disk) /dev/da1s1 linux swap /dev/da1s2 linux /boot (set bootable) /dev/da1s3 linux / /dev/da1s4 empty, future netbsd the partitions on da1 were created after freebsd was installed so booteasy gives me: F1 FreeBSD F5 disk1 disklabel /dev/da1 spits out all the scsi drive info and c: 17783240 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 1106*) Do freebsd boot manager(s) require disklabels on all disks? thanks, scott folokai@earthlink.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
