Error when booting to FreeBSD on second disk, only through 40_custom

[Adarsh Joshi]

Hi,

 

I am trying to boot FreeBSD using Grub2 and I get the following error

 

Booting a command list

Error: out of partition.

Error: out of partition.

Error: only ELF kernel supports module.

 

Press any key to continue…

 

This is what I have in my 40_custom file, on my Ubuntu 10.10 server.

 

        insmod ufs2

        set root='(hd1,msdos1)'

        search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 4c0029f407b3cd1d

        kfreebsd /boot/kernel/kernel

        kfreebsd_loadenv /boot/device.hints

        kfreebsd_module /boot/splash.bmp type=splash_image_data

        set kFreeBSD.vfs.root.mountfrom=ufs:da1s1a

 

 

The interesting thing is that I see (hd1) and (hd1,msdos1) when I do a ls at the command prompt and I am even able to boot FreeBSD if try through the command prompt. I get the error only when I try to boot through 40_custom file.

 

I also have another version of FreeBSD on hd0 and I am able to boot into it successfully through command prompt as well as 40_custom file.

 

I strongly feel set root='(hd1,msdos1)' is not enough when pointing to another disk and I am probably missing something here.

Apologize if this has already been asked. I browsed the tutorials and tried a million combinations but in vain.

 

By the way, the Grun version I am using is 1.98+20100804-5ubuntu3.3

 

Thanks a lot

 

regards
