Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: grub2
On my laptop running Ubuntu 10.04 I had the following in
/etc/grub.d/40_custom:
menuentry "FreeBSD 9-Current amd64" {
savedefault
insmod ufs2
set root=(hd0,3,a)
kfreebsd /boot/loader
}
menuentry "FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE amd64" {
savedefault
insmod ufs2
set root=(hd0,4,a)
kfreebsd /boot/loader
}
This worked great, and I was able to boot both partitions.
On a new system I installed 10.10, and this solution no longer works.
The only thing that I've had any success with is the old method of
menuentry "FreeBSD" {
set root=(hd0,2)
chainloader +1
}
The problem is that this method only allows me to boot the first freebsd
partition found. If I choose the menu entry for the second one, it just
boots the first one anyway.
I've tried numerous variations on the hd settings for the set root
command, as well as various other combinations of the 2 types of menu
entries, no joy.
If anyone can give me the proper set of commands to use to downgrade
grub2 to the version from 10.04 in the meantime, I would appreciate it.
Still learning my way around in linux.
Thanks,
Doug
