It shows the grub cannot recognize ufs2 file systems. grub> root (hd1,0, Possible partitions are: Partition num: 0, [BSD sub-partitions immediately follow] BSD Partition num: 'a', Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0xa5 BSD Partition num: 'b', Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0xa5 BSD Partition num: 'd', Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0xa5 BSD Partition num: 'e', Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0xa5 BSD Partition num: 'f', Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0xa5 All stage1, stage2 and *_stage1_5 are in /boot/grub/. The fstype used for bsdlabel for b is swap and for others its 4.2BSD. Files systems were created as follows: newfs -U /dev/ad2s1a newfs /dev/ad2s1d newfs -U /dev/ad2s1e newfs -U /dev/ad2s1f Do others experience this issue? Do I need to patch the Grub to recognize ufs2 file systems? Your reply is very much appreciated. Kind regards Unga
