freebsd bootloader

[newbieatassembly]

Hey,
I have linux on my PC and I am reading the freebsd handbook and I can't figure out how to get the bootloader to boot linux along with dos and freebsd.

Anyone have any idea how to do it ?

why don't u use LILO.. what u should do is find out which partitions your other OSs are on, write them down, then boot Linux.. edit /etc/lilo.conf and specify the locations of the other partitions that hold DOS and FreeBSD.. e.g /dev/hda1 could be DOS... /dev/hda6 could be FreeBSD and /dev/hda7 could be Linux..

re-run /sbin/lilo, and then LILO will be installed on your disks MBR.. upon boot, it should present u with all the boot options.. namely, the other OSs..

good luck
