Hello list.
Please also reply to my mailbox, as I'm not on the list.
Thank you.
I have a old grub floppy that I use time to time to
boot/recover pc with different OS.. Today I wanted to
boot a freebsd 5.3-RELEASE-p23 box, but to my surprise
grub reported:
Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0xa5
and thus cannot mount /boot/loader
So I thought I'd make a grub floppy with a recent version,
but even with version 0.97 things won't change..
# cd /usr/ports/sysutils/grub
# make install
# grub
[ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB
lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists the
possible
completions of a device/filename. ]
grub> root (hd0,0,a)
Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0xa5
grub> kernel /boot/loader
Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition
grub> root (hd0, <TAB>
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
grub> quit
# mount
/dev/ad0s1a on / (ufs, local, soft-updates)
devfs on /dev (devfs, local)
/dev/ad0s1e on /tmp (ufs, local, soft-updates)
/dev/ad0s1f on /usr (ufs, local, soft-updates)
/dev/ad0s1d on /var (ufs, local, soft-updates)
linprocfs on /usr/compat/linux/proc (linprocfs, local)
devfs on /var/named/dev (devfs, local)
Any hint/thought/advice?
Best regards.
