I tried this (as of a week or so ago when I downloaded it); the
installation worked, but installing grub failed in exactly the same way
as before.
Just to clarify: I have a ufs partition in a DOS extended partition, and
I want to install the grub boot loader into the extended partition's
boot sector. Is anyone else using this setup?
I have managed to get it to boot by using my existing Linux's grub
installation, using a custom.cfg file as follows:
menuentry "Debian/kFreeBSD" {
insmod ufs2
set root='(hd0,msdos6)'
set kFreeBSD.vfs.root.mountfrom=ufs:ufs/kFreeBSD
kfreebsd /boot/kfreebsd-9.0-2-amd64.gz
boot
}
It would be nice if Debian's grub could automagically detect kFreeBSD
installations.
Once booted, I have to say it's extremely pleasant to use and seems
exceedingly slick. Installing X Just Worked and ufs2 feels like greased
lightning --- and this is with the default options; I hear I should be
turning softupdates on?
If only it had Chrome and OpenJDK; I could actually *use* it for real
work...
