Hi list.
I´m running Suse linux 10.0 on my i386.
A couple of years ago I used FreeBSD 5.2
on another computer.
Now I want to dual boot Suse 10.0 and FreeBSD 6.1 Release
using linux grub.
I just can´t get FreeBSD to boot...
I have been trying everything I can think of.
1) installing FreeBSD as stand alone with/without bootloader.
=> Problems with diskgeometry.
Have tried everything I can think of.
2) Installing Ms Dos 6.1 as the first OS and FreeBSD as the second OS.
=> MS Dos boot fine.
=> FreeBSD didn´t boot, just dumped the registers (I think it is them).
3) Installing Suse 10.0 as the first and FreeBSD as the second OS.
=> Suse boots fine.
=> FreeBSD doesn´t boot, just dumps the registers (I think it is them).
Right now I have Suse 10.0 and FreeBSD 6.1 Release installed on my
(single) harddrive wich is an Western Digital at 80G.
From my BIOS I can´t read how it recognizes the disk geometry.
This is my /boot/grub/menu.lst:
