Dual boot with dual harddisks: Lucid Lynx - GhostBSD

Asked by Panorain

Hello I am running LucidLynx 10.04 with Grub 1.98 installed on the first PATA harddisk. I just installed a second Pata drive then proceeded to install GhostBSD without the BSD boot loader to the second drive. I am a noob so please bear with me I am trying my best. 'Sudo fdisk -l' returns /sda and /sdb as the two listed harddisks.

I am looking to have GhostBSD show up in the Grub bootloader menu each time I start my pc.

I have an update hopefully it's helpful, I downloaded and installed the ubuntu-zfs package because BSD uses the zfs file system. the command sudo 'zpool import' yields nothing. I have reinstalled GhostBSD on the second harddrive and booted it as a primary drive to insure that is it properly installed. It's a no go as a dual drive system gparted will not recognize the partition type.

Thank you,
