Following the instructions under $PORTSDIR/sysutils/grub2 insmod ufs2 set root=(hd0,gpt3) kfreebsd /boot/loader boot stopped working around FreeBSD 9.1-stable. I used Super Grub2 Disk image on the System Rescue CD written to USB stick. Recently, I built sysutils/grub2, ran mkrescue, wrote that image to the System Rescue USB stick and made the entry in /syslinux/syslinux.cfg, but haven't tested that yet. What is the method you or PC-BSD uses? I want to use it on FreeBSD 9.2 and 10-current. I tried visiting pcbsd.org website but couldn't find any details. TomReceived on Thu Oct 10 2013 - 00:33:43 UTC
