- please change sources.list with apt-get install from ...
- tw.archive.ubuntu.com -> mirror.nttu.edu.tw
- apt-get install ufsutils
- apt-get install gdisk
3. Partition your hard drive
- my plan as follows.
- /dev/sdb1 -> EFI system partition "EF00"
- /dev/sdb2 -> NanoBSD #1 "A500"
- /dev/sdb3 -> NanoBSD #1 "A500"
- /dev/sdb4 -> Data "A503"
- gdisk /dev/sdb
- ...
- mkfs.vfat -F32 /dev/sdb1
- mkfs.ufs -O 2 /dev/sdb2
- mkfs.ufs -O 2 /dev/sdb3
- mkfs.ufs -O 2 /dev/sdb4
4. Mount EFI system partition
- mkdir /boot/efi
- mount /dev/sdb1 /boot/efi
- mkdir -p /boot/efi/efi
5. Install grub for efi
- apt-get install grub-efi-amd64
6. Setup your grub2 into the EFI system partition
- modprobe dm-mod
- grub-install --boot-directory=/boot/efi/efi --bootloader-id=GRUB2 --no-floppy --recheck
- cp /usr/share/grub/unicode.pf2 /boot/efi/efi/grub/
- cp /boot/grub/grub.cfg /boot/efi/efi/grub/grub.cfg
- grub.cfg context as follows.
- insmod ufs2
- set root='(hd0,1,a)'
- search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 4ea7f1272cbdb23e
- echo Loading kernel of FreeBSD kernel ...
- kfreebsd /boot/kernel/kernel
- kfreebsd_loadenv /boot/device.hints
- set kFreeBSD.vfs.root.mountfrom=ufs:/dev/ad0s1a
- set kFreeBSD.vfs.root.mountfrom.options=rw
- ...
7. Copy my old grub.cfg and seting up the EFI boot entry.
- modprobe efivars
- efibootmgr --create --gpt --disk /dev/sdb --part 1 --write-signature --label "GRUB2" --loader "\\EFI\\grub\\grub.efi"
note. GRUB2 is the entry that would appear on the EFI bootloader
