-----Original Message----- From: "Henning, Brian" <brian.henning@navitaire.com> To: FreeBSD-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Date: Wed, 1 May 2002 12:59:40 -0500 Subject: grub-freebsd Hello- I am trying to setup grub on my celeron 333 to duel boot bsd and w2k. The machine has one hard drive; w2k is on the first partition and freebsd is on the second partition. I installed the grub package in freebsd. Then I then created a grub floppy by using dd to copy stage1 and stage2 to a floppy. I can boot from the floppy into grub, but from that point I am a little fuzzy on what to do next. I know I have to chainload w2k from reading the docs. I have a general idea on what some of the commands do. Can someone point me in the right direction on what to do next? _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ You'll want to make a /boot/grub directory and copy some files into it. You'll also want to create a menu.lst file in that directory that will configure the boot menu. (The menu.lst file is the one that contains the "chainloader +1" stuff.) For details, you can either go to the grub home page (it's on the Gnu software pages) to read the documentation, or type info grub on your machine. (Navigation in info pages may be a bit strange for you, which is why you may want to try the web-based version first.) Read this stuff *thoroughly*, since messing up a boot manager can leave you with a non-bootable machine. Then please do come back to this list with any questions, and/or there's a grub mailing list linked from grub's web pages that I think is searchable through Google Groups.
