Howdy, Aurelien asked me about getting GRUB 2 working on GNU/kFreeBSD. There's been much work in upstream to implement loading for kernel of FreeBSD, and recently some polish in the installer, etc.
grub-mkconfig (update-grub's backend), however, still generates entries based on the single /boot/kernel/kernel instance. I hear you want it multi-version like on GNU/Linux, and support for loading acpi.ko too. I implemented both of them. It's basically a rewrite of 10_freebsd.in based on our existing 10_linux.in. It'll need some adjustments in upstream so they can share more code, but for now you can test it already, see attachment. (you can put it in util/grub.d/ and rebuild GRUB, or do the autoconf sed magic by hand) -- Robert Millan The DRM opt-in fallacy: "Your data belongs to us. We will decide when (and how) you may access your data; but nobody's threatening your freedom: we still allow you to remove your data and not access it at all."
