Re: Booting with Grub

Re: Booting with Grub
At Thu, 1 Jul 2004 it looks like Andrew Walrond composed: I have installed 5.2.1 into a partition and I want to use my existing bootloader, grub. Can anyone tell me what the required grub configuartion line would look like, or point me to an FAQ? Andrew Walrond ___ Here is one that worked for me with FreeBSD on the 4th primary partition. It was a while ago when I had RedHat-7.2 as the controller of GRUB. # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this # file # NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg. # root (hd0,0) # kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda3 # initrd /initrd-version.img #boot=/dev/hda default=0 timeout=10 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz title Red Hat Linux (2.4.7-10) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.7-10 ro root=/dev/hda3 initrd /initrd-2.4.7-10.img title FreeBSD-4.2 root (hd0,4,a) kernel /boot/loader ### -- Bill Schoolcraft PO Box 210076 -o) San Francisco CA 94121 /\ UNIX, A Way Of Life._\_v http://billschoolcraft.com ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Booting with Grub (correction)
I shouldlspecify that AFAIK
the first listing is the 'old' way which still works and with multiple *BSD
the second is the 'new' way that works with FBSD and maybe OBSD IIRC.

Andrew Walrond ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm actually using a GRUB floppy, but this is what I type in to boot freeBSD (it's on the second IDE drive in my system) GRUB root (hd1,0) GRUB chainloder +1 GRUB boot in the first line, (hd1,0) refers to the HDD and the partition, in that order. So if you have only one drive, and BSD is on the second partiton, for example, you'd use root (hd0,1) Hope this helps...
