Install alongside freebsd
Posted: Tue Oct 04, 2022 3:10 pm
Hi all. I've freebsd on a disk with zfs. Can I install ghost alongside freebsd in same partition? or viceversa?
Code: Select all
I see in the ESP partition you can have a /boot/freebsd/bootx64_freebsd.efi and a /boot/ghostbsd/bootx64_ghostbsd.efi different UEFI boot files, YET
which /bin or /sbin or /usr/local directories with the same exact name are in use by the $PATH to call up and execute programs? the GhostBSD version or the FreeBSD version? How do you envision putting along side GhostBSD and FreeBSD. I don't understand your envisioned logic here when combining FreeBSD and GhostBSD in the same partition.
GhostBSD and FreeBSD are identical, except when they
are NOT IDENTICAL. So maybe a command /bin/ls is identical both for FreeBSD and GhostBSD. Just use one version or use the other version, they are identical. Other commands or programs might be improved in the GhostBSD version and not improved in the FreeBSD version. So they art NOT IDENTICAL in this scenario. How do you suggest to solve this issue? Which version do you suggest to use? How do you propose to combine FreeBSD and GhostBSD? When you find an issue or problem, where do you post the bug report? Did you create the problem by combining GhostBSD alongside FreeBSD?

Below are the output from the $PATH variable and the first level directory names in the / partition /dev/da0p2
