I would love to find any information on making FreeBSD and OS/2
work together.
Namely, my questions are: How can I get OSBS to boot my OS/2 partition?
and how can I (if it is possible) get FreeBSD to access my HPFS partition
on my OS/2 drive?
I have FreeBSD on one SCSI drive and OS/2 on the other. OSBS doesn't
want to boot OS/2 off the second disk. (Says "Missing Operating System")
OS/2's boot manager will boot FreeBSD, but FreeBSD panics and hangs
because it isn't on disk 0. (I have to make the OS/2 disk act as disk
0 to use its boot manager) I've investigated the idea of making new boot
blocks and disklabeling the FreeBSD disk, but I don't have the requisite
know-how to do that all by myself.
Any tips, suggestions, etc?
Thanks,
Paco
