g'day, trying to get a multiple boot scenario working on my laptop with Windows Vista, Ubuntu, and OpenBSD im having trouble with both editing grub to get it to allow me to boot into openbsd.
I keep getting error cannot get C/H/S values from grub at boot time. fdisk from ubuntu shows Command (m for help): p Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x50000000 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 22 176683+ de Dell Utility /dev/sda2 23 1981 15728640 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda3 1981 21632 157850384+ 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda4 21633 60801 314624992+ 5 Extended /dev/sda5 21633 40652 152778118+ 83 Linux /dev/sda6 40653 41780 9060628+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda7 * 41781 60801 152786151 a6 OpenBSD I just tried booting off the install cd for openbsd with boot > hd7a:/bsd which seems to fail and suggest trying the cd version, i had a poke about with the boot help menu and it says (paraphrasing) that the boot letters should be hd[0123] have i made an error in installing where by openbsd needs to be on one of the first 4 partitions of the drive? _______________________________________________ Openbsd-newbies mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.theapt.org/listinfo/openbsd-newbies
