FreeBSD 8 + debian con grub2

He decidido montar un servidor con arranque dual: debian linux y FreeBSD 8. He realizado la instalación básica de FreeBSD, sin gestor de arranque, y a continuacion la instalación de debian lenny, usando LVM para todas las particiones menos boot y swap. La instalación de debian tambien ha sido básica porque he migrado a testing inmediatamente. Tras instalar todo lo que necesito e actualizado a grub2 y he ahí la razón de esta entrada: no reconoce FreeBSD.

Para ello se edita el fichero /etc/grub.d/40_custom:

#!/bin/sh exec tail -n +3 $0 # This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries. Simply type the # menu entries you want to add after this comment. Be careful not to change # the 'exec tail' line above. menuentry "FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE AMD64" { set root=(hd0,0) chainloader +1 }

Una vez terminado se actualiza grub con el comando update-grub.

I enjoy using debian on my second generation macbook, and everything was working fine until my last system update, because I was unable to boot linux. I followed this guide to install it, and I use rEFIt to boot OS X and grub which boots linux. So grub is installed in a partition, /dev/sda3 in my case.

With previous updates grub2 was ready to replace grub in my current installation so I was surprised to see it was falling, till now

It seems when I tried to install it on the desired partition grub reported and error, but with the force option I succeed and now everything works.

grub-install --force /dev/sda3
