It wasn't automatic however. I used the disk/slice/partition editor in the installer. I reserved the first slice for FreeBSD, the second for GNU/Linux's root and a third for GNU/Linux's swap. I installed FreeBSD to slice one (letting the installer automatically partition the space). Then when I installed Devuan I chose the second and third slices in the installer, as my ext3 root and swap space respectively. When it prompted me to install grub I told the installer to install grub to the second slice instead of the whole hard disk. Then from FreeBSD I used the boot0cfg command to make linux select ble from the FreeBSD boot menu. You may want to check boot0cfg man page. Grub can be configured to boot FreeBSD instead of using FreeBSD's bootloader to boot GNU/Linux but I haven't used that method and can't speak to it. - Wes --zsBqjnNrzUnZZDg9bBnnh9lflVGDHhYcy-- --ncYrM3AHOr6S0Xy0Z8ze5JITiJlxs5g9D Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAEBCAAdFiEEZlhJhYmotpqX80BPFO57iiyrSi4FAlrlBFgACgkQFO57iiyr Si4q3wgAm7hPWGny0fOEbWq/LHVJKoSAEXIYh7h2y7QyNwLQaYdzX1vaXhOyuf8P R0YRim+TVzGMCHhZ79klXAVl/GiCsYSqlNfMz+A6HW113/GQ+TrRdShB0uMlj9Uz cx9u4QTb3u4qTcj3UxS+DZdiufiDQK0LwYzbxcox1rE+IHtsBP4bb7tPXcGchzLi MRuGC6MPf29CMDotRoj+H/ZZ0mVxDX6E6s+Dti7NI83I5bcqqd4pb0XBWTvAFILx RM4kTEj4HJH597yzputO6EOte8JqjSvFivEyJ5bC5t6ZV40WOgxlp8u7rGcqyR1q 3uhQi2dUmh0y3i2NO61LMDX1x+mLfg== =WTjL -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --ncYrM3AHOr6S0Xy0Z8ze5JITiJlxs5g9D--
