Hello everyone,
I have been interested in FreeBSD and decided to give it a try, I am just a newbie! I have been using OpenBSD for a while on a rather recent laptop, and wish to dual boot it with FreeBSD as this OS does provide all the drivers I need (notably for my WiFi and Video Cards).
I have been used to set full device encryption under OpenBSD, and use GPT/EFI for my disk. I did found a nice guide about dualbooting FreeBSD/OpenBSD with full encryption, which worked like a charm. However the method described there (using boot0, to then chain to the respective bootloader and decrypt the respective partition) only applies to MBR scheme.
Thus, my consoles have the old-school 640x480 VGA resolution which is quite unpleasant.
Would there be a way to dualboot both systems using EFI/GTP scheme ? Preferably using BSD-available bootloaders.
I plan to use UFS for each system (GELI encryption for FreeBSD), with bsdlabels on each partition (even though not need with GPT, but OpenBSD uses them, so I am willing to keep things as symetric as possible)
Many thanks in advance
