Summary: Had DOS, Linux, FreeBSD - added NT can't boot FreeBSD
Keywords: FreeBSD, Linux, Windows-NT, Booting
Hi, I have a box with FreeBSD, Linux and DOS/Windows. DOS was on
partition (slice) 1 of disk 1, FreeBSD was on slice 2 of disk 1 and Linux
was on disk 2. I had been using LILO to boot everything quite nicely. I
got NT and installed it and when it was done (I installed in on the DOS
area, of course), LILO was still there and would boot NT/DOS (through NTs
boot manager, of course) and Linux, but FreeBSD was hosed. I can boot up
FreeBSD from the fixit floppy , but I'd like to be able to boot everything.
Anyone know how to achieve this ? When I select bsd from LILO, I get a
read error. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dirk
