Hi there I am basically trying to load FreeBSD off a FAT partition. First I start up GRUB and then in GRUB select to load /loader off the partition. Loader starts up fine, but here's where the trouble starts. While loader has been loaded perfectly, It doesnt seem to be able to read the FAT partition, even though browsing through the source code I see FAT support in loader and libstand. When i try to load /kernel, it says it can't find it, and attempting an ls results in " bad path '' ". If i load /loader from a FreeBSD partition with GRUB, everything works peachy. Upon googling the web for more info, i found http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hackers/2005-January/010011.html however it seems as if no solution was reached. Any help on the matter would be much appreciated. Federico
