Hello,
My FreeBSD partition is installed on a cyl. beyound
1024. So FreeBSD boot manager does not work.
Howerver with 3.4 release I was able to use
this great boot loader called GRUB. In there
I could mount a root file system and then load
the kernel. Something has changed in the 4.0 Release
and while I still can mount the root file system,
the FreeBSD compains that the mounted device
is not the same as specified in /etc/fstab. What
it means is that GRUB's understanding of the
file system format and the 4.0 mount's understanding
of the ffs are different (that means that ffs has changed).
This guess is also enforced by the fact that I can
no longer mount the FreeBSD partion from Linux
(I tried 2.2.14 kernels and 2.3.51)
What I would like to know first if there any possible
way for me besides GRUB (that does not work now)
to boot my freeBSD either from a harddrive or
from a floppy -- does not matter.
If you think that this message should go to another
news group, please do not hezitate to let me know.
Thank you in advance,
Vladislav
