I already have rEFInd. It's been my bootloader on this particular device since I installed SparkyLinux on it in 2021.
got ya. What’s your issue been with dual booting so far? What’s running next to OpenBSD?
OSX Snow Leopard. The main issues with everything I've tried recently are:
- OpenBSD: Disk partitioning process was not explained clearly by anyone.
- FreeBSD: Refused to find any WiFi networks. Won't boot.
- NetBSD: Beeps loudly and uncontrollably on the WiFi config screen.
- KANOTIX: Couldn't see my disk.
- antiX: Wouldn't partition my disk.
- GNU Guix: Actually installed, but the Guix package manager kept crashing post-install. I blame my old processor and my 3GB of RAM. I'm also not a fan of the filesystem layout in Guix.
Dang. Wish I had more experience with BSDs and could be more helpful, but I could probably only regurgitate wiki links that you’ve likely already gone through
