Can anyone please give me some advice as to how to read FreeBSD partitions under Linux? I've tried various options for the ufstype as outlined in the manpages for mount & fstab, but without success. /dev/hdb3 is a 20gig partition on which I've installed a FreeBSD filesystem with the usual subpartitions as set up by the 'auto' function in their version of fdisk.
I know NOTHING about FreeBSD filesystems or partition types, but it's possible you have to compile support into your kernel for this. Maybe it's already there as a module too though... You should probably check that first.
It does appear that "ufs" is the proper filesytem type as you've specified already.
I'd like to have lilo offer it on bootup along with Gentoo & Win_XP, but I can't seem to get Gentoo Linux to recognise what's there.
This is a whole different issue. Edit /etc/lilo.conf and add an 'image' section for FreeBSD. You'll have multiple image sections already - two, at least, Gentoo and WinXP. Just duplicate the format for the new FreeBSD section. 'root' should be "/dev/hdb3", per your /etc/fstab listing. When you're done editing, run /sbin/lilo as root user.
