Yes! I just discovered that I can multiboot the netbsd kernel off of a FAT32 fs or even an NTFS fs, but *not* off of a UFS fs :o/ Apparently "something bad" happens to the kernel in the process of reading or loading it from the UFS fs. I can read small text files from a UFS fs, however, so I'm thinking maybe this has something to do with the size of the netbsd kernel? BTW, I've tried booting the netbsd kernel off of a FreeBSD UFS1 fs but I can't tell if my NetBSD partition is UFS1 or UFS2 -- dumpfs doesn't say which kind it is. I confess I really don't remember if I have any UFS2 partitions or not. Excellent work so far in just one day! Got any other tricks? :o) _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
