Hi,
While trying to port a program to FreeBSD (I'm a Linux and Hurd user),
I installed FreeBSD on a free partiton (Snapshot from 2.2.97).
I use GRUB as boot loader and have the problem, that GRUB does not know
of the the FreeBSD filesystem (It's new I guess). I installed the kernel
on a Linux disk and I'm able to boot this kernel .. the problem is
(of course) that it can't mount it's root device. So how can I set
the rootdevice into the kernel image or which argument I can give to
kernel?
[I'm not subscribed to this ML (don't even know if it is one); please
cc direct]
tia
