Hello,
I just installed PC-BSD which is based on FreeBSD5.3, but comes with a
graphical installer.
I already have Windows XP and Debian Linux installed on my computer, so I
could not install PC-BSD in a primary partition at the beginning of the disk.
Instead I created a new primary partition at the end of the disk. I now have
the following disk layout:
hda1 Boot Primary NTFS
8389,79
hda5 Logical Linux ReiserFS
8003,20
hda6 Logical Linux swap / Solaris
1998,75
hda7 Logical Linux ReiserFS
8003,20
hda8 Logical W95 FAT32
20003,89
hda9 Logical Linux ReiserFS
70013,59
Pri/Log Free Space
37630,66
hda3 Primary FreeBSD
5995,75 *
Primary Free Space
0,49 *
I have the following two entries in /boot/grub/menu.lst:
# Entry for PC-BSD
title PC-BSD
makeactive (hd0,2)
root (hd0,2,a)
kernel /boot/loader
title PC-BSD
root (hd0,2,a)
kernel /boot/loader
With both entries I cannot boot. I get the following error messages:
Entry 1:
makeactive (hd0,2)
Error 12: Invalid device request
Entry 2:
Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0xa5
kernel /boot/loader
Error 17: cannot mount selected partition
Is there anything I can do to get this working?
Greetings,
Michael
