I am currently running Slackware Linux 2.0.20. I have it
installed in /dev/sda and use LILO as the boot manager.
I have installed FreeBSD 2.2.1 on /dev/sdc1 using SYSINSTALL and
when prompted for the MBR choice I chose 'None' in order to keep
using LILO. I want to get to know FreeBSD by using /dev/sdc as
my sandbox so that I may evaluate it for use in my actual work.
I don't know what is the name/location of the kernel image I need
for booting FreeBSD under LILO. Any information/pointers as to
what to write in the FreeBSD stanza for LILO would be greatly
appreciated.
My "lilo.conf" follows:
# LILO configuration file
# generated by 'liloconfig'
#
# Start LILO global section
boot = /dev/sda
#compact # faster, but won't work on all systems.
prompt
vga = normal # force sane state
ramdisk = 0 # paranoia setting
# End LILO global section
# Linux bootable partition config begins
image = /vmlinuz
root = /dev/sda2
label = linux
read-only # Non-UMSDOS filesystems should be mounted read-only
# for checking
# Linux bootable partition config ends
# Linux bootable partition config begins
image = /zImage
root = /dev/sda2
label = new
read-only # Non-UMSDOS filesystems should be mounted read-only
# for checking
# Linux bootable partition config ends
Thanks in advance,
Alfredo
