Hi, I want to dual boot a FreeBSD based FreeNAS and FreeBSD. While booting FreeNAS succeeds, FreeBSD is inaccessible (FreeNAS always ever boots). constraints: The FreeNAS install is either: a BIOS system partition based boot or a EFI system partition based boot deploying GPT partitioning scheme note: The dual boot is required in order to access HW. ## PROBLEMS ## Using refind: a) Selecting by GPT partition type (freebsd-zfs/freebsd-ufs): Deploying the FreeBSD's efi-loader (boot1.efi) will search for freebsd-ufs and freebsd-zfs partitions, prefering freebsd-zfs. b) Selecting by zfs pool or dataset/filesystem by ID. boot1.efi neither can choose a zfs pool nor a dataset by ID. First found rules. c) Loading FreeNAS using boot1.efi and FreeBSD by directly loading the loader (3rd stage). refind is missing a ufs driver. ---- I will try to configure one of the FreeNAS's GRUBs already in use. However, may an efi-loader be "manufactured" the way to boot one certain BSD install. What about the boot.conf mentioned in boot(8). Thanks Holger
