Chaining to +1 will make FreeBSD boot very slightly slower, since FreeBSD's MBR bootblock has a 1-2 second delay that lets you hit 'space' to pick a different loader than /boot/loader. Since Grub lets you pick different configurations anyhow, this doesn't buy you anything and only slows the boot process. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
