I am dual-booting Linux (Ubuntu 16.04) and FreeBSD on the same laptop. I decided to use Grub2 (explanation below). Since Linux boots, I am doing this from Linux. The kernel appears to boot and scrolls through the kernel messages, but then ends with the following message:
My entry in 40_custom on Linux is as follows:
I have tried setting the mountpoint to /dev/ada0s3a, but there is no difference. I tried setting the root variable to '(hda0,gpt3,bsd1)' but Grub says "No such partition".
Any ideas?
Use-Case: I am attempting to remotely dual-boot FreeBSD and Linux. I will update which OS boots at any given time by editing Grub and then rebooting. I would use the FreeBSD Bootloader, but it does not appear to have a Linux port, so if I am in Linux, I would not be able to change the bootloader settings and boot into FreeBSD.
Code:
Mountroot: waiting for device /dev/ada0s3
Mounting from ufs:/dev/ada0s3 failed with error 19.
Loader variables:
vfs.root.mountfrom=ufs:/dev/ada0s3
vfs.root.mountfrom.options=rw
Code:
menuentry "FreeBSD" {
insmod ufs2
set root='(hd0,gpt3)'
kfreebsd /boot/kernel/kernel
kfreebsd_loadenv /boot/device.hints
set kFreeBSD.vfs.root.mountfrom=ufs:/dev/ada0s3
set kFreeBSD.vfs.root.mountfrom.options=rw
