Re: [PATCH] FreeBSD 64-bit kernel support

[Chip Panarchy]

Hello

Thanks once again for replying.

I wouldn't mind maintaining the port, though probably only
temporarily, seeing as I have a job starting tomorrow.

However, first I need to get GRUB2 working properly, with the 64-bit
FreeBSD entry.

I have Fedora 64-bit installed onto an ext3 partition. How do I
install this patch to the GRUB contained on this partition?;

####################
# title Fedora (2.6.27.5-117.fc10.x86_64)
#       
# root (hd0,6)
#       
# kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.x86_64 ro
root=UUID=385fefd2-c92b-40c6-a9b0-ada4fd408dba rhgb quiet
# initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.x86_64.img
####################

I would also like to add this capability to Ubuntu 64-bit's GRUB,
which is contained in its bootsector (hd0,8)

Please tell me how to add 64-bit FreeBSD capability to my GRUB2 and
(if possible) my GRUB.

Thanks in advance,

Panarchy
