|    Booting BeOS with Grub    |
|    06 Jan 05 19:31:24    |
      From: jackmalmostoso@freesurf.ch              Hi there,              I am very new to BeOS, so please excuse my ignorance.              I have installed BeOS Max 3.1b1 in my spare /dev/hdb1 partition (I speak       from a Linux point of view).              Then I added to Grub config file this:              title BeOS        rootnoverify (hd 1,0)        makeactive        chainloader +1              but it does not boot, saying:              Error 21: selected disk does not exist              In my /boot/grub partition I have:              [jack@coppermine grub]$ ls       device.map grub.conf~ minix_stage1_5 ufs2_stage1_5       e2fs_stage1_5 iso9660_stage1_5 reiserfs_stage1_5 vstafs_stage1_5       fat_stage1_5 jfs_stage1_5 splash.xpm.gz xfs_stage1_5       ffs_stage1_5 menu.lst stage1       grub.conf menu.lst~ stage2              There I don't see any BeOS FS stuff, maybe that's the problem?              Also, look at this:              [jack@coppermine grub]$ /sbin/fdisk -l /dev/hdb              Disk /dev/hdb: 81.9 GB, 81964302336 bytes       16 heads, 63 sectors/track, 158816 cylinders       Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 = 516096 bytes               Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System       /dev/hdb1 1 2025 1020096 eb BeOS fs       Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.       /dev/hdb2 2033 158816 79019136 f W95 Ext'd (LBA)       /dev/hdb5 2033 158816 79019104+ 83 Linux              Is it any meaningful to you?              Thanks for any advice, if you need any additional info just ask.              --       On Oct 5 1991, 8.53 AM; Linus Benedict Torvalds said:       >I can (well, almost) hear you asking yourselves "why?".
