Happy New Year, 2011! I have installed FreeBSD (sdc1) and DragonFlyBSD (sdc4) and for some reason I am unable to boot DragonFlyBSD (the boot doesnt move) unless I hide sdc1. I understand that DragonFlyBSD uses the same partition id (0xA5) as FreeBSD and that is what messing up the boot order. I've tried installing DesktopBSD as well but when I choose to boot DesktopBSD it boots FreeBSD.
Here are menu.lst entries - ###Don't change this comment - YaST2 identifier: Original name: other### > title FreeBSD 8.1 i386 > rootnoverify (hd2,0) > chainloader +1 > > ###Don't change this comment - YaST2 identifier: Original name: other### > title DragonFlyBSD-2.8.2-amd64 > rootnoverify (hd2,3) > chainloader +1 Here is Geometry - grub> geometry (hd2) > drive 0x82: C/H/S = 56065/255/63, The number of sectors = 1953525168, > /dev/disk > /by-id/ata-ST31000528AS_6VP53TG2 > Partition num: 0, [BSD sub-partitions immediately follow] > BSD Partition num: 'a', Filesystem type is ufs2, partition type 0xa5 > BSD Partition num: 'b', Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0xa5 > BSD Partition num: 'd', Filesystem type is ufs, partition type 0xa5 > BSD Partition num: 'e', Filesystem type is ufs, partition type 0xa5 > BSD Partition num: 'f', Filesystem type is ufs, partition type 0xa5 > BSD Partition num: 'g', Filesystem type is ufs, partition type 0xa5 > Partition num: 1, Filesystem type is jfs, partition type 0x83 > Partition num: 3, [BSD sub-partitions immediately follow] > BSD Partition num: 'a', Filesystem type is ufs, partition type 0xa5 > BSD Partition num: 'b', Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0xa5 > BSD Partition num: 'd', Filesystem type is ufs, partition type 0xa5 > BSD Partition num: 'e', Filesystem type is ufs, partition type 0xa5 I will like to compile DragonFlyBSD kernel with this option - options ROOTDEVNAME=\"ufs:ad8s4a\" > > How do I do this (with what command) and should it be ufs:ad8s3a or ad8s4a. In /etc/fstab it says s4a. I am booting everything of SUSE GrUB and it reads sdc1 partition as (hd2,0) I am a n00b at DragonFlyBSD and will appreciate your help. Best, Dave
