Dear sir / Madam,
Morning, i got a problem over this FreeBSD and Linux red hat 6.2, the
thing is, i have some PC that are loaded with linux red hat 6.2, then i want
to install FreeBSD as my second Operating System, at first i was not able to
install because i can't set a partition for BSD, after that i used Partition
Magic to make a partition from my existing linux. But my linux was an
extended partition and so the FreeBSD can see or detect it when install,
after that i manage to make the partition to "primary" partition. and
finally i have install FreeBSD. But when i reboot, there is some option like
"F1 Linux" "F2 Dos" and "F3 FreeBSD", but note that the F1 and F2 cannot
fucntion, when you press it just came out the sound "beep..", the only thing
can work is "F3" which is FreeBSD, so i try to solve this problem by using
boot manager like XOSL 1.1.5, after i install, they said "Install error", so
when i restart, they load it to XOSL but still the same thing, linux is
missing. And FreeBSD remain there. So i try reinstall my FreeBSD and when
they ask about booting option i try "boot manager", the second one and the
"none" one. but all these 3 also can't work. They won't bring me back to
Linux.
So, how can I solve above problem?
1) So how can i make my linux and FreeBSD bootable and working ?
2) Can FreeBSD and linux Red Hat 6.2 install at the same harddisk and what
boot manager are advices to use?
3) Beside using FreeBSD boot manager and XOSL 1.1.5, are they anything else
which is better?
4) Are they any "step by step" installation guide for "Installing Linux and
FreeBSD at the same HDD"?
5) If i would install my linux and FreeBSD, which one should i install
first?
6) How come the boot manager shows ¡§F1 Linux¡¨, ¡§F2 Dos¡¨¡K. But when I
pres F1 it can¡¦t go it to linux?
7) Can you guide me to the installation of FreeBSD? I got the installation
guide from www.FreeBSD.org, but still can¡¦t work on Linux.
8) Can I have FreeBSD, linux and unix, 3 Operating System at the same time?
Final question, I understand that FreeBSD and Linux is a kind of ¡§UNIX¡¨,
so where can I get the pure unix?
Thankx a lot for all your time and helping, hopefully can hear from you
soon.
