X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 07 May 2010 00:10:28 -0000 Hello, has someone successfully ported GRUB2[1] to FreeBSD/i386 and FreeBSD/amd64? I see no port sysutils/grub2 in the tree, even though I know that GRUB2 *can* boot FreeBSD directly and via chain-loading. And while we're at it, I'm wondering if there is an effort underway to make the kernel multiboot-compliant... maybe like NetBSD[2]?
