Hello,
I have made the same configuration (Debian and FreeBSD). I used
Grub and it works very well, here is the entry in menu.lst:
I'll tell you which of these were different and why...
title FreeBSD
root (hd0,0)
Odd, I had to specify the slice (the a in "root (hd0,0,a)")
makeactive
I don't think this is necessary.
chainloader +1
Well, this is a different way to do it, usually this is used with
Microsuck products... but I suppose it'd work here too.
savedefault
A handy feature, but I don't use it.
boot
(It is strange that the entry is not the same as the previous
answer !?)
I also implemented the swap 's sharing as it is presented in the
mini-howto Linux-FreeBSD (http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-mini/Linux
+FreeBSD.html). The howto is a bit old but you can follow it.
Glad you got everything working.
Cheers,
Julien

Grub does well for me. Set it up for Linux and then set it up for
BSD, making sure the UFS driver's in there. Here's my command-list
for booting FBSD.
root (hd0,0,a)
kernel /boot/loader
boot
I might have the spacing wrong, I'm doing it from memory, but the
data's all there.

Hello;
If I want to set up a dual boot of either Linux or FreeBSD, what
is the best way to go about it?
Use Lilo, grub, or does FreeBSD have a boot loader that it likes
better and Linux won't object to?
i'm planning on using Debian on a separate bootable hard drive. I
have to get more info on what
version of Debian I will use. FreeBSD is version 6.0 release. It
works great, has little quirks here
and there but are negligible, Xwindow screen saver daemon won't
run, but that's ok because
mostly I shut the monitor off when not using the system. Gnome
throws up a dialog every
time it starts stating that a panel is already running. Once it
kept presenting the same dialog
several times before it was satisfied that I got the message.
Monitor works great without any
intervention from me. I sure is nice to have a computer system
that just runs and runs and
I don't have to do finger nail biting trying to stay ahead of
crashes.
Thanks in advance:
JK
