dual booting

Hello people. I have a legacy dual boot BSD+Windows setup. Recently I did some Windows-y stuff and messed with the boot loader. Anyhow; In an attempt to recover my FreeBSD install I wrote a bootonly iso to a thumb drive, booted BSD and ran boot0cfg -B /dev/ada0 boot0cfg -m 0x5 -s 1 -t 90...

How can I do that? Anyone know? I use my disk as GPT. Windows 10, Debian 11 (GRUB) already exists as dual-boot, but I want to install FreeBSD next to it. How will I do? Thanks.

Could someone please save my sanity. I've got a laptop running Windows XP SP3. I wanted to create a dual-boot with FreeBSD 11.3. After a LOT of research I can't find anything matching something so old to something so new. I've read lots about MBR and GPT and established that this is MBR via...

AFAIK, FreeBSD prefers the hardware (CMOS) clock to be set to UTC, but it is possible to select that it is set to local time during the installation. That is what I did, as I am dual booting (actually, triple) FreeBSD with Windows 10 (and Void Linux). Now the time displayed is incorrect in...

Hello, I have a laptop with bundled Windows 7. I want to dual boot it with FreeBSD 11. Till now, I used to dual/multi boot using Linux. Basically, I used to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst with appropriate entries so that I could get the option of all three OS at the time of boot. But with this laptop...

I'm a retired Windows programmer and would like to learn FreeBSD while I have the time. So I have installed FreeBSD-11.1-RELEASE-i386-dvd1.iso on the third partition of my Vista notebook (which I created while in Windows). FreeBSD boots fine but since I do not know much of it I would like to...

Hi there, I have 2 Linux OSes running on my Hdd and wonder how I can install FreeeBSD 11.1 on it without destroying my existing OSes. Like in Linux I create 1 partition and flag it as / (root) and all is good. Also, does Grub recognize FreeBSD and where would I write the boot sector to not...

I am dual-booting Linux (Ubuntu 16.04) and FreeBSD on the same laptop. I decided to use Grub2 (explanation below). Since Linux boots, I am doing this from Linux. The kernel appears to boot and scrolls through the kernel messages, but then ends with the following message: Mountroot: waiting for...

How do I go about having Windows 10 alongside FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE on a same physical hard drive? Freebsd handbook is excellent(reason for choosing FreeBSD), but I can't seem to find the way to do this. A little bit of background, I did dual-boot my older machine with Windows 7 alongside...

Hi, sorry for the ignorance, it is the first time that I install FreeBSD. I wondered if FreeBSD automatically installs a boot loader, because I want to make a dual boot with Gentoo, Gentoo grub maintaining and adding the voice FreeBSD (of course I will use UFS partitions compatibility grub), thanks.

I'm new to FreeBSD and beyond just using it in a virtual machine, I've yet to actually install it onto working hardware (my next step). I'm a bit curious (or confused) by some of the documentation I've been reading concerning multiple partitions. My setup is as follows. sda0 8.0gb - swap...

PROS: Tow OSes taking full advantage of machine resources CONS: Missing share data capabilities but it is an upcoming fix. So far so good, dual booting Windows 7 and FreeBSD by taking full advantage of the machine resources. The mix involves hosting the FreeBSD root partition on same hard...
