Has anyone had any luck booting BeOS PE5 MAX, or Haiku, with Grub 2?
I am using ubuntu linux on the same machine. I was using a version that came with Grub 0.97 (I think) and I was able to boot using the following menu entry:
BeOS
rootnoverify (hd0,5)
chainloader +1
The ‘rootnoverify’ was required. I could not boot without it.
I upgraded to ubuntu 9.10, which now comes with Grub 2 by default. grub didn’t automatically discover the BeOS partition, so I had to add it to the 40_custom file, and run update-grub to add it to the menu. I used an entry just like the one above.
When I rebooted the machine and tried to boot BeOS, grub informed me that rootnoverify was no longer a valid command. I tried changing it to root= but had no luck.
Anybody have any suggestions? Thanks!
