The Linux+FreeBSD mini-HOWTO: Booting FreeBSD using LILO

Next Previous Contents

## 4. Booting FreeBSD using LILO

You can easily boot FreeBSD with LILO. Do not install the FreeBSD boot selector (`Booteasy`) if you want to use LILO. Append the following lines to your `/etc/lilo.conf` file and run `lilo` (assuming the FreeBSD slice is `/dev/hda4`):

    other=/dev/hda4
            table=/dev/hda
            label=FreeBSD

If you have installed FreeBSD on the second SCSI drive, use something like this (the FreeBSD slice being `/dev/sdb2`):

    other=/dev/sdb2
            table=/dev/sdb
            loader=/boot/chain.b
            label=FreeBSD
