Hi,
I've found no Newbie section, but I think this fits here as well.
My aim in the End is to make a smooth transition between Linux and BSD but at the beginning I need a running system while experimenting with BSD. Therefore I want to have both systems on my laptop in a dualboot environment. To test this I've installed VirtualBox and set up a machine with LinuxMint on the one Hand and freeBSD on the other hand. Now as far as I read I've got the option to include freeBSD into the grub bootloader of LinuxMint (my preferred option) or install a new bootloader like refind.
Since I like the first option most I'd like to try getting this up and running. I know there are many similar threads but I've tried different things suggested there and none worked.
My partition layout is a disk with GPT as partition table, then a partition for LinuxMint then a partition for the BIOS (from LinuxMint) then there is the BSD-zfs partition and afterwards the BSD-boot partition
GPT-Partitiontable
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| LinuxMint | BIOS (LinuxMint) | BSD-zfs | BSD-boot |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I hope even if questions similar to this were posted already someone will help me
Thanks in advance
