I am trying my hand at learning
multibooting
, so far my target PC has Antix-Linux ext4
on one partition, FreeBSD UFS
on another, ExFat
common data on a 3rd, Target PC has been partitioned with GPARTED and GPT partitioning scheme
as under:
My PC has BIOS
not UEFI
.
/dev/sda1 - 1 GB - fat32 - flags - boot, esp
/dev/sda2 - 3 GB - flags - linux-swap
/dev/sda3 - 15 GB - ext4 - Antix_Linux
/dev/sda4 - 250 GB - exfat
/dev/sda5 - 15 GB - freebsd_UFS
/dev/sda6 - 0.5 GB - openbsd boot (formerly type 'EF' now type '0D')
/dev/sda7 - rest space 15 GB -openbsd 'A6' type UFS
1] OpenBSD with Ventoy
- installed from the install77.iso
file, downloaded filesets
from http
since it did not read from cd0
or disk
, got stuck at installboot
. Then it was showing error EFI device busy
, and since I don't have EFI, I changed the /dev/sda6
from type EF
to 0D
(boot bios) and installboot successfully completed.
Then I rebooted, and trying to add a menuentry in 40_custom
grub file in Antix-Linux, whose grub boots the system, but update-grub
is showing warning discarded incorrectly nested partition hostdisk/dev/sda,gpt7,bsd(1-14)
May you please extend your help in these cases. Regards.
