Hello... I'm setting up a dual-boot system (Linux and FreeBSD) on a machine that has two hard drives. Apart from a small boot partition, the first drive will be used entirely for FreeBSD. The Linux kernel resides in that boot partition and GRUB is the boot loader I'm using. I've installed FreeBSD without a boot loader with the intention of creating a GRUB entry that points to FreeBSD...but I'm not clear on how to do this. The GRUB entry for Linux looks like this: title linux kernel (hd0,4)/vmlinuz-2.2.17-21mdk root=/dev/hdb6 hdd=ide-scsi vga=791 As you can see, it names the kernel and points to the root partition on the second drive (hdb6). I believe I either need to do something similar for FreeBSD, or I need to use GRUB to call /boot/loader in FreeBSD. If you have any experience with this, could you kindly steer me in the right direction? Thanks. M.
