am currently trying to install FreeBSD 9 on my Lenovo X220 and
noticed that the link on this page in the FreeBSD Handbook is broken:

See the header at the top of that page. There is a new chapter for
installing 9.0 and later. The equivalent section is
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/bsdinstall-pre.html
Oh ok.....
Anyway as I'm familiar with BSD 8.x I did the install without reading!!
My issue was really to find the .img file for USB booting.
All done now but can't seem to get Fedora 16's GRUB to boot BSD
9.0.... I guess it's time to consult the documentation after all;
even though Google'ing provided results that didn't yield answers as
the Linux GRUB can't find the partition/slice combo???
The default install of FreeBSD 9 uses GPT, so there are no slices or
FreeBSD (bsdlabel) partitions. Instead of ad0s1a, it would just be
ada0p2. Don't know what Linux calls these partitions, though.
Tried chainloading but that didn't work either probably as no
boot-loader got loaded into the PBR by default.
If you want multiboot on a GPT drive, grub2 seems to be the solution.
(But I haven't tested it
Thanks Warren for the assistance!
I will create a new Subject for my multiboot issue :-)
Am just currently trying to get my 'old' Fedora instance from an old HD
up and running by booting off USB drive meaning have to re-build
initrd.img with USB modules in it.....
So updating that in order to get the kernel headers since the old kernel
is no longer supported.
Best regards,
Kaya
