GhostBSD makes FreeBSD a little less frightening for the Linux loyal

Dual boot FreeBSD and Linux

"Getting it (FreeBSD) to dual-boot cleanly alongside both Windows and Linux on our testbed machines has, thus far, defeated us..." I was able to dual boot Linux and FreeBSD using rEFInd. Partition your install drive into 1 EFI partition and 2 other primary partitions. Then install Linux into the 1st as an EFI installation. Next install eEFInd in the boot partition (there are instructions on the rEFInd home page). Finally install FreeBSD in the 2nd partition and after installation move the boot files into the EFI drive and configure - 'simples' ;-)
