Good afternoon,
Has anyone installed two BSD (say -RELEASE and -STABLE) on the same disk on the same UEFI machine using rEFInd?
Setting up dual booting - Windows 10 and FreeBSD-whatever - via rEFInd is just a matter of bcdediting a path and copying the appropriate .efi files. (duh).
The /boot/boot1.efi copied in \EFI\FreeBSD-STABLE does its job and loads the _first_ FreeBSD system, as says uefi(8). What if I want to boot _another_ FreeBSD system on the _same_ GPT-partitioned disk?
Specifying the GUID of the partition in the menuentry stanza i.e.
...
volume GPTGUID
loader boot/boot1.efi
....
isn't enough and does not work(TM).
I suppose rEFInd_x64.efi can't access the second system without an appropriate ufs driver. There are, indeed, drivers for linux filesystems (ext2, ext4, etc.) in the rEFInd directory. And FreeBSD?
How am I supposed to solve the problem _within_ FreeBSD with rEFInd?
My apologies for the crazy/mad question and many thanks in advance for your help, pointers, suggestions.
