Grub and NetBSD
Hello people!!!
I recently have installed NetBSD on my HDD, an it is with ubuntu and windows but it doesn' t boot, I read many tutorials of how to install NetBSD in this way and how to use grub to boot it, so my NetBSD install didn't write anything in MBR, but my grub always show something like "file not found", can you check what is wrong on my grub.cfg file and tell me how to fix it, and how I can heck what's the correct path for my NetBSD partition? that's because NetBSD it's supposed to be installed in the third partition of my HDD, but an "fdisk -l" under ubuntu shows this: root@xebuzer0-ThinkCentre-Charchina:~# fdisk -l Disco /dev/sda: 80.0 GB, 80000000000 bytes 255 cabezas, 63 sectores/pista, 9726 cilindros Unidades = cilindros de 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Tamaño de sector (lógico / físico): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Tamaño E/S (mínimo/óptimo): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Identificador de disco: 0x45da0464 Disposit. Inicio Comienzo Fin Bloques Id Sistema /dev/sda1 * 1 26 208813+ 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda2 27 5126 40959090 7 HPFS/NTFS La partición 2 no termina en un límite de cilindro. /dev/sda3 9119 9727 4881836 83 Linux /dev/sda4 5126 9119 32074689 a9 NetBSD La partición 4 no termina en un límite de cilindro. Las entradas de la tabla de particiones no están en el orden del disco (The entries in the partition table are not in disk order) and, if is usefull an "grub-install -v" shows: grub-install (GRUB) 1.99~rc1-13ubuntu3 Thanks in advance and greetings PD: I've read this 2 links without some success https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2%20Other%20Os http://daemonforums.org/showthread.php?t=5765 and sorry if is in the wrong category, I'm new at the forum My grub entry: menuentry "NetBSD 6.0" { insmod ufs2 set root=(hd0,3) knetbsd /netbsd --root=wd0a } Last edited by XeBuZer0; 10th June 2014 at 08:26 PM. |

Another way to try is to edit the grub boot line when starting. Press 'e' when you see the grub boot screen, highlight the entry to change, press 'e' to actually edit the line, then 'b' to continue booting.
N.B. This is only a tempory change to the grub boot menu, if it works, change the line in /boot/grub/grub.cfg. (/boot/grub/menu.lst if it were legacy grub.)

If you reinstall NetBSD using the 4th MBR slot to describe the 3rd partition area on the disk (just as before), then I would start with bsd-keith's suggestion. Looking at one of the other linked threads, it seems likely chainloader +1 would also be needed in the grub config, wouldn't it? |
