Hi Greg,
I've just rebooted back into SUSE from FreeBSD. I use Grub to boot them
both, and Win2k (for how often it gets used, I might as well dump it ;-))
I can safely say even with UFS2 on 5.2, I can boot with
title FreeBSD
rootnoverify (hd0,1)
chainloader +1
Windows uses the usual
title Windows
root (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
makeactive
with my partition table looking like...
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 1305 10482381 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda2 1306 2610 10482412+ a5 FreeBSD
/dev/hda3 2611 14592 96245415 f Win95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/hda5 2611 2741 1052226 82 Linux swap
