1.How do I boot FreeBSD and Linux from LILO?
Boot Linux, and add the following lines to /etc/lilo.conf:
other=/dev/hda2
table=/dev/hda
label=FreeBSD
(the above assumes that your FreeBSD slice is known to Linux
as /dev/hda2; tailor to suit your setup). Then, run lilo as
root and you should be done.
If FreeBSD resides on another disk, you need to add
loader=/boot/chain.b to the LILO entry. For example:
other=/dev/dab4
table=/dev/dab
loader=/boot/chain.b
label=FreeBSD
In some cases you may need to specify the BIOS drive number
to the FreeBSD boot loader to successfully boot off the
second disk. For example, if your FreeBSD SCSI disk is
probed by BIOS as BIOS disk 1, at the FreeBSD boot loader
prompt you need to specify:
Boot: 1:da(0,a)/kernel
2.How do I boot FreeBSD and Linux using BootEasy?
Install LILO at the start of your Linux boot partition
instead of in the Master Boot Record. You can then boot LILO
from BootEasy.
If you are running Windows-95 and Linux this is recommended
anyway, to make it simpler to get Linux booting again if you
should need to reinstall Windows95 (which is a Jealous
Operating System, and will bear no other Operating Systems
in the Master Boot Record).
