Hmm, I am trying to get grub to work. Do I need a special version of grub in order to boot FreeBSD? I now have an external usb hard drive with the following partitions: 1: primary partition, FreeBSD (6.x) 2: primary partition, FreeBSD (7.x) 3: extended partition, contains - linux-swap (2 GB) - linux, ext3 Ubuntu 6.10 with grub 0.97 (it is the version that comes with Ubuntu 6.10) as boot loader. However, when I try to load FreeBSD, it doesn't work, I only get this error: 18 : Selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS I also tried grub-install with the --force-lba parameter, that didn't help either. Any hints? -- Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen, Norway _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
