rh9 to freebsd without console
I have tried using the following methods in these links.
http://forum.rackshack.net/showthrea...threadid=11395
Basically using this method I am able to mount the partition ok in linux so the image must have copied ok but when I try to bootup freebsd it seems to not even start to boot as none of the log files get changed. It is on the 4th partition on the 1st hd freebsd4.9
added this to lilo config with and without the loader line which fails
other=/dev/hda4
table=/dev/hda
loader=/boot/chain.b
label=FreeBSD
here is fdisk output when i display list.
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux
/dev/hda2 14 265 2024190 83 Linux
/dev/hda3 266 515 2008125 83 Linux
/dev/hda4 516 14593 113081535 a5 FreeBSD
and
8 partitions:
# start end size fstype [fsize bsize cpg]
a: 516 535* 19* 4.2BSD 2048 16384 92
c: 516 14593 14078 unused 0 0
I also tried this method here
http://www.daemonology.net/depenguinator/
but the guy is far too vague and have ran into 3 problems so far, firstly he wants the first 40meg of hd to be blank or be overwritten?? not sure what he means but I think it involves me losing my current boot setup so if fails no fallback.
secondly when configuring initconf.conf
there is this line
# inifconf_interfaces should be a list of
# names of interfaces.
initconf_interfaces="sis0"
i set to the device I would put in ifconfig although again he is vague so not sure if that is right.
and finally the makeimage.sh fails anyway I get a bunch of errors followed by a stop.
So does anyone know why my first fbsd partition might not be booting (tried with grub also) or even better if someone has their own method of wiping redhat over with fbsd (preferably 4.x) remotely and can post their how-to that would be great thanks.
