Dilsworth) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc Subject: Need help getting linux loader (lilo) to boot FreeBSD Date: Fri, 27 Dec 1996 13:03:12 GMT Organization: Digital Equipment Corporation, Palo Alto, CA, USA Lines: 16 Message-ID: <32c3c870.3722461@usenet.pa.dec.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: 16.136.16.22 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Newsreader: Forte Agent .99g/32.339 Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc:33345 I have a P133 with a pair of WD1600 drives. The first drive has DOS and Linux installed on it. The second drive has Freebsd installed and I can't get lilo to load it. Lilo complains about no bootable partition. When I run liloconfig FreeBSD isn't a listed operating system under "Load other". I have also tried mounting /dev/hdb* with all types with no luck. The only reference I see to FreeBSD in the man pages and the HOWTOO is that lilo has no problems loading FreeBSD. What do I need to do to get this to work? I am willing to reinstall either operating system but I would like to keep FreeBSD on the larger second disk. Thanks, keith
