Hi!
I'm in the process of testing 9.1 on the laptop where I use grub2
because I had to put bsd in an `extended' slice, and I found out
grub2 won't boot the 9.1 kernel. Asked on #grub where phcoder
found the fix after I made him a test iso using grub-mkrescue:
http://paste.debian.net/180121/
Applied that to grub 2.00 from here:
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/grub/grub-2.00.tar.xz
(built on a Linux debian slice with checkinstall), and that got
the 9.1 kernel booting. So maybe the sysutils/grub2 maintainer
(Cc'd) wants to update the port to 2.00 and add the patch in
files/? :) (It's still at 1.98 currently where the patch doesn't
apply.)
The kfreebsd way to boot this affects is the same as in this
earlier post:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-multimedia/2011-March/011828.html
(i.e. this is not chainloading bsd's loader but grub loading the
kernel and klds itself. I think this way to boot was originally
added by the debian kfreebsd guys, hence the command kfreebsd...)
HTH,
Juergen
