I have a specific ? I use several OS's, and your bootloader finds
them all; however, it prints a ?? on the screen because they are
unknown to BSD. I look at the /boot/boot0 file which contains this
information, but I don't know how to edit it. Do you have a way that
I can edit the menu so that when I select a non-FreeBSD OS I know
what I'm getting?
It's a very simple boot menu. It has to fit inside the MBR, so it
can't know about all partition types. If you want, you can cd to
/sys/boot/i386/boot0/, edit the tables in boot0.s, run make obj
make depend make make install then run boot0cfg -B da0 to
reinstall the new bootblock into the disk. If you get an attempt to
.org backwards message while compiling, that means you made the
bootblock larger than 512 bytes, and you'll have to remove some of the
other entries in the table.
Note that it just goes by partition type, so it can't tell the
difference between a w2k and a wxp partition, or different linux
partitions. I suggest using grub from ports if you want a nice
customizeable menu.
It is going to take me a good week to get everything configured
and running, but it seems that this will happen, it will just take
time.
You really need to get teTeX in your Ports distribution!!!
It's already there: ports/print/teTex
