Hi, Well, I followed wblock's advice and installed all those systems in the Virtual Box, among other systems. Basically because I understood I was wasting too much time fixing instead of actually doing something useful (as I was warned). When I'll be more sparkly with the Linux or BSD...

Log shot Hi again, While trying to fix the grub on Backtrack, I had the nice idea of typing: apt-get install grub After that: update-grub I got some errors and when I reboot the system there was nothing left, no menu, no systems, only a low-level like program called "GRUB 1.98...

First of all, the menu thing worked and now it shows me options where to choose: Ubuntu, with Linux 3.2.6 | Loads Backtrack Ubuntu, with Linux 3.2.6 (recovery mode) | Loads Backtrack Ubuntu, with Linux 3.2.0-23-generic |...

I didn't see your post coming. I am doing the changes now.

I did not formatted, instead I will try to fix the GRUB problem. I just entered on the BT (as usual) and the system detects other 2 "hard drives", both of 25 GB. I assume one is FreeBSD's, because it gives me error when trying to mount it, must be because of UFS filesystem. And the other that...

That means there is no problem because the 64 KB parition is so small? Because that would be great! The Ubuntu instalation completed successfully. There was no error except from the above. When I started the instalation, Ubuntu detected another Ubuntu instalation (Backtrack is based on...

No worries! I will format again the HDD and reinstall again, plus I will make the boot partition a bit larger in size (10 MB) because I think it's because of that the error. (Hey, at least I am learning :) )

... and here goes the link. http://forums.freebsd.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=1542&d=1336164240 Sorry, I thought the attachment would go automatically with the post.

Not quite, the only working one is Backtrack. When finishing the installation of Ubuntu (being the third and the las one) it gave me an error message just before finishing the install. An error ocurred while migrating data. More details may be found in /var/log/syslog. The installation will...

No need anymore. I just figured out it was a hardware problem: the pendrive must have some issue because I just installed the Ubuntu on another pendrive (borrowed) and it worked at the first try. I am with the installation. I am on the partition install window and I (again) am having some...

I am blocked on the fifth step. I simply cannot burn the ubuntu-12.04-desktop-amd64.iso image on the stick. I have tried and tried, but there is no way that this gets to work. Windows do recognizes it, but the BIOS doesn't even recognizes it as a bootable device. I have tried with UNetBootin...

I never give up! You Mister, are totally freaking me out! Give me your name now so I can put it to my first son! :beergrin OK, in order to avoid more bloodshed and spare you all some precious time, I formatted the HDD and booted from the FreeBSD memstick.img. I am right now on the guided step...

...and just to make it clear, I am willing to try those three steps (GPT, shared SWAP partition and separated GRUB). I just need to be pointed the right way, not asking for a step-by-step super tutorial.

Dead end. OK, now I am really confused. I have GAG4 and Hiren's BootCD BUT I am going to format the HDD again even if I sincerely don't know how to do most of what BeebleBrox said: To have the GPT instead of MBR partitioning table (I didn't even choose for that nor installed it). And what is...

Hello, I have a laptop with three systems installed: Linux Ubuntu 12.04. Backtrack 5 R2. FreeBSD-9.0 (FreeBSD-9.0-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img). While managing to boot FreeBSD, I overwritten the GRUB loader with the boot0cfg loader, and now the system starts and shows me this after the...

Thanks for the idea. I guess I can consider this thread solved.

My bad: the only key allowed me is F3 (the actual FreeBSD installation). I will look forward to how to configure boot0cfg so it will accept the other systems (weird thing though, because if it displays both Linuxes it should be working :/ )

So far so good :D What I did is still better than what I expected. Following that manual page, I wrote: boot0cfg -Bv ada0 boot0cfg -m 0xf ada0 *0xf was displayed as all four slices Now (finally!) when the system boots, it prompts me with a simple menu: F1 Linux F2 Linux F3 FreeBSD F4 ? F6...

Installation was successfull (thank you Mister wblock :D ), etc. But when the system started again there was no FreeBSD option in the GRUB Loader, so I plugged again the pen with the FreeBSD image and started a shell. In the shell I typed some commands I found in that manual: fdisk -B -b...

Hi again, I burned the memstick.img file on the pendrive (16 GB, Kingston) using UNetBootin (v568), as a diskette (it selects automatically). Plug it on the laptop, UNetBootin message pops up, select the "default" (and only) option. Tons of code starts loading. And the FreeBSD menu pops with...
