Dualboot Windows 10 & FreeBSD - Non-UEFI

- After being requested a few times, here is my attempt to dualboot Windows 10 and FreeBSD 12.1 on my non-UEFI (Bios/MBR) test machine....

It is worth emphasizing that, if you already have Grub or Lilo installed at MBR, you should NOT reboot the system at the end of FreeBSD installation. Instead, you should exit to shell and do
boot0cfg -B ada0
before rebooting. In this video RoboNuggie does this after rebooting because the MBR is "clean" (no boot loaders yet).
Good point.... I really don't like dual booting.... so any help is welcomed. I'll pin this comment just in case anyone needs it...
@@RoboNuggie Although you can use Grub as the boot loader in FreeBSD, I very much prefer the less intrusive boot0. It does the job just fine and it is much simpler (because it is equivalent to just stage1 in Grub). No bells and whistles, and still highly configurable. However Grub2 is very popular in the GNU/Linux world, so if someone has some Linux distribution already installed, the MBR is most probably taken by Grub, meaning boot0 must be configured before rebooting the fresh install of FreeBSD.
I don't like dual booting either, but sometimes you can't escape. In fact, I have a machine that triple boots (FreeBSD, Slackware and even Window$ 7). The latter is rarely used, but it has to be there just because an external device I have occasionally needs firmware updates done with custom software that won't run on Wine (not to mention I don't like Wine either). The main OS is FreeBSD and that's my daily driver but, as much I would like to get rid of the others, it's not always possible.
One time I was dual booting back when I first started with FreeBSD, and I had Linux on the other one, and I was messing around with my hdd's inside the computer.
Somehow the drive UUID's got changed, and it automatically loaded freebsd, and overwrote my entire partition of Linux.
Thankfully it wasn't avery important system, more for testing. But it was crazy how quick it went wrong.
Great... Just waiting for this video
I hope it didn't disappoint... :-)
I wish FreeBSD wasn't late to the party with UEFI. It offers so many benefits on both Windows and Unix and seriously reduces bootime once csm bios is disabled
I don't use UEFI myself , but FreeBSD was a little late, but it's had UEFI support now for a good few years....... I can't test that, but I have it on good word :-)
Not a big fan of dual booting myself. When I install a new distro, I'm more focused on that one and forget the other. Thanks for the video, Nuggie.
It's something I have been asked to do for a long while.... when I can summon up the strength and wash the taste of Windows from my mouth. I may do a Linux dual boot :-)
sound issue when dual booting on my system. it has to do with fast boot, or the fact that fast boot is not a true shutdown (apparently settings still live in the memory). because of this, it overrides freebsd's attempts to take control of the audio? weird.. if i disable fast boot, the sound works. if i have fast boot on, but shut off the power from the PSU and then boot into freebsd, sound works. how can i make sure windows isn't misbehaving in this manner without disabling fast boot?
Thanks for the video
Thank you ابو حنفى للإلكترونيات, I hope it was of some use for youا
@@RoboNuggie thank you this is whats I search for 👍
Thanks for the great video. I've tried this myself and it worked out fine. But when I choose ZFS it failed to boot with error message "missing operating system" or it just erase the whole disk and use it all for FreeBSD. How do I dual boot and install FreeBSD just in a partition using root on ZFS?
good!!
Thank you Boss Big...!
Friend a query, how do I edit the names (F1 WIN) by (F1 Windows 10), for two months I have been looking for a way to edit the names and I do not get information.
Sorry for the late reply, you would need to configure the FreeBSD side of things, possibly using boot0cfg, but then I haven't touched this.
I would very much advise not altering, but if you must, then please ask on the Forums first :-)
I follow these steps, but when i picked up F3 for Freebsd, just a # symbol cames out... I already try to find a answer in freebsd forum and reedit but nothing... please, could you give some help?
I know we tackled this in Twitter, did you get any further with it?
Hi what would be the command if I am using seperate disks for Windows and FreeBSD please?
Thanks & Best Regards
Michael
The safest approach would be to have the bootloader for each OS on their own drive, and then select the drive to boot from via BIOS or UEFI etc...
I don't have a lot of experience with this, so I'll leave you with a few links to see if they give your answer...hope it helps...

@@RoboNuggie Thanks a lot for the help.
goodness me, I haven't dual/tri booted since the early 2000's I have no need or desire for that these days, I have multiple drives these days (hot swaps) if I need or wish to boot to another OS (most of the time I forget I even have other OSes >_< ) my newest rig has MXLinux which works right out of the box, and as I have mentioned before, there is a dedicated SSD waiting in the pipe line (on the shelf) for FuryBSD (Lumina) to take its place in the new rig (hot swaps).
I agree Oceania, it's something I would want to do anymore...in the old days when HDD's were expensive, then yes, sure, I think we all did.... but a few data losses and accidental drive wipes kind of put me off a little :-)
I feel old now :-(
@@RoboNuggie I prefer seasoned myself ;-) though I don't feel sometimes lol
It would be nice a dual boot UEFI video
It would :-)
Used to dual boot Windows 7 (or 8) and Ubuntu LTS a few years ago, worked well for a good long time, then a Windows update changed the partition numbering and killed it. :|
Yep.... that's why I don't do it any more..... too risky :-)
if you were using grub to deal with the dual boot is simple fix that, when grub menu is displayed press "E" key before enter on GRUBRESCUE, then find and change the correct number on gptpartition menu entry, save changes and reboot 😀 ✌🏻🤖
@@angelr3103 wish I had known that at the time lol
Dual booting with Windows is no issue. If you want to dual boot with Linux then two GRUBs wouldn't coexist on the same disk. Only way would be to use refind bootloader on Linux.
Hmm... well, that's something I will have to let others show :-)
Thank you Cosmic!
If not uefi , what about LILO ?
I've not tried FreeBsd yet but I do use LILO to boot Slackware and Artix .
I think Grub or LILO would need to be only installed and managed from your main OS only.
@@tyh2989 Hmmm.... It's been many years since I used LiLo.... here is some info regarding it with Linux and FreeBSD...
docs.freebsd.org/doc/2.2.7-RELEASE/usr/share/doc/FAQ/FAQ113.html
(Based on a very old version of FreeBSD)
Grub.... well,
Linux installed first of course, then install FreeBSD after shrinking and partitioning etc...
You are right that you only need the main OS GRUB...
In the GRUB config file... you would need to add something along the lines of
menuentry "FreeBSD" {
insmod ufs2
set root=(hd0,2)
kfreebsd /boot/loader
}
But this may be out of date...I wrote this in my notes a long time ago...
@@RoboNuggie Thanks for the info.
plzz make a UEFI dual boot freebsd with window10 video too I have a lenovo laptop but it is UEFI not Legacy-Bios plz its a request to you sir
I would love to, but I don't have any UEFI machines available I'm afraid, but I'll put it in the todo list and when I get a UEFI machine I'll do it :-)
@@RoboNuggie thanks and will be waiting for uefi video
this works with freebsd 13.0?
I haven't tried, but I would think so.
hey you just showed your ip
I know 🙂
