New page

== Install side-by-side with Linux on a BIOS computer ==

=== Installation ===

In my experiment with FreeBSD 12 I was not able to create a partition for FreeBSD using the installer. So I created an unformatted partition using gparted in Linux, which got the number "sda9" in Linux. However, FreeBSD's installer still did not let me choose that partition for installation. So I had to choose to manually format and mount the partition from the command line:

newfs /dev/ada0s9
mount /dev/ada0s9 /mmt

After that I had to create a "fstab" file in a directory called "bsdinstall_etc":

mkdir bsdinstall_etc
echo "/dev/ada0s9 / ufs 0 0" > /bsdinstall_etc/fstab

As soon as I pressed Ctrl+D to leave the shell, installation would start.

=== Booting ===

The installer does not change anything in the boot process of the PC. Since there was GRUB installed on it, it was no problem booting FreeBSD with the following entry:

menuentry "FreeBSD" --class freebsd --class bsd --class os {
insmod ufs2
insmod bsd
set root=(hd0,msdos10)
kfreebsd /boot/kernel/kernel
kfreebsd_loadenv /boot/device.hints
set kFreeBSD.vfs.root.mountfrom=ufs:/dev/ada0s9
set kFreeBSD.vfs.root.mountfrom.options=rw
set kFreeBSD.hw.psm.synaptics_support=1
}

Chainloading, as some sources state, would not work, because the FreeBSD installer did not write the boot code to the boot sector of the partition.
