The person who wrote the answer says he/she was not able to do it. Well, that's how I boot FreeBSD in my Linux box! Very easy. It works smoothly. Here is my /etc/lilo.conf in case it helps. Pablo. -------------- # LILO configuration file # generated by 'liloconfig' # # Start LILO global section boot = /dev/hda #compact # faster, but won't work on all systems. # delay = 5 # put prompt if you want LILO to stop instead of going to #the first OS directly vga = normal # force sane state default = linux # this is optional # ramdisk = 0 # paranoia setting # End LILO global section # Linux bootable partition config begins image = /boot/zImage-2.0.32 root = /dev/hda2 label = linux read-only #image = /vmlinuz # root = /dev/hda2 # label = linux-std # read-only # Non-UMSDOS filesystems should be mounted read-only for checking # Linux bootable partition config ends other = /dev/hda1 label = windows table = /dev/hda other = /dev/hda4 label = freebsd
