I should I guess have mentioned that this is a multi-boot system. grub is
installed on my Debian partition and has been handling my 6 OSs fine. I
have even had NetBSD on an extended partition alongside my Linuxes and it
has booted fine (I think I read this was not possible) with the following
grub entry:
rootnoverify (hd0,9,a)
kernel --type=netbsd /netbsd
chainloader +1
boot
... but now that I have updated to 4.0, I get the following when I
attempt to boot NetBSD:
Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format
I am wondering what I should change the parameters to to get this to boot.
I can play around on the grub command line some, but any advice would be
welcome :^), other wise I'm just kinda blindly casting about.
I tried removing the chainloader +1 line as I read it was no longer
necessary, but this didn't have any effect. I suspect it is the "kernel
..." line but am not sure what to alter this to.
Thanks in advance for any ideas ...
Regards,
Glenn
