I have Windows on ad0 and FreeBSD on ad2 I installed the BSD bootloader but it is only booting Windows. There is some limitation or problem and no matter what I try in the emergency shell I cannot configure boot0cfg to work properly. So I need two solutions to try: How do I configure the BSD boot loader to work to boot both Windows and FreeBSD? I have tried commands like boot0cfg -B -s 2 ad2 and it doesn't seem to help or boot Second solution: Stand-alone GRUB install How can I install GRUB stand-alone? How do I install it into /boot? I guess /boot = some mounted partition of a unix OS? Would it be best to make /boot under the existing FreeBSD partition? The more exact details the better. I've been scratching my head over this for days thx! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
