Hello, I'm trying to get M0n0wall running on a 1G Sandisk CF card in a WRAP box. I've been using LEAF (leaf.sf.net) on this box for several years, but want to try M0n0wall. But to keep LEAF around, I need to set up to dualboot, ideally with GRUB. My problem is that GRUB seems unable to recognize the partition I've put M0n0wall on: grub> root (hd0,2,a) Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0xa5 GRUB is able to recognize the linux partitions. I'm currently running LEAF off of the same card. Here's what I did (running Debian GNU/Linux, and with the card in a USB reader that's worked fine for a year or so): * partitioned new card. Here's how it reads now on the WRAP box: chloris# fdisk /dev/hda [...] Disk /dev/hda: 1024 MB, 1024966656 bytes 32 heads, 63 sectors/track, 993 cylinders Units = cylinders of 2016 * 512 = 1032192 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 1 125 125968+ a5 FreeBSD /dev/hda2 126 250 126000 a5 FreeBSD /dev/hda3 251 375 126000 a5 FreeBSD /dev/hda4 376 993 622944 5 Extended /dev/hda5 376 377 1984+ 83 Linux /dev/hda6 378 382 5008+ 83 Linux /dev/hda7 383 387 5008+ 83 Linux * Formatted /dev/hda5-7 with ext2 filesystems, put GRUB's staging files on hda5 and working LEAF installations on hda6 and hda7. Installed GRUB on the MBR. * Downloaded wrap-1.22.img, gunzipped it, and using dd if=wrap-1.22.img of=/dev/sda3 copied it to the Sandisk card. When the copy was finished, I mounted the partition read-only and looked around. No errors. /boot/loader is there. * Put the card in the WRAP box and rebooted. Grub comes up in the serial console. If I point it at hda6 or hda7, it boots the linux kernels there and I'm fine. If I point it at the M0n0wall partition, grub complains that it can't recognize partitions of type 0xa5. If I ignore the complaint and use the kernel command that too fails: grub> kernel /boot/loader Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition Can anyone suggest how to get M0n0wall running on this configuration? Caveats: This is my first experience with *BSD, and I don't have access to a working *BSD system. I do know my way around Linux pretty well. I've used grub only with linux-based systems until now.
