Still this?... title FreeBSD root (hd3,0) chainloader +1 I can almost guarantee that you have your 'root' specified incorrectly. You should have something similar to the following (as mentioned earlier by Pieter): title FreeBSD root (hd0,1,a) kernel /boot/loader Unlike a Linux boot entry, you have to specify the 'a' portion of 'root' in the menu.lst config. And remember that 'hd0' is defining exactly which hard drive you have FreeBSD installed on (in this example, the first hard drive), and '1' refers to the partition (in this example, the second partition). The 'a' will not have to be changed, assuming you performed a standard FreeBSD installation as this is the slice / is installed on by default. Give it another try with this info and reply back if you still have trouble. If you reply back, please include 1.) the hard drive and 2.) the partition you installed FreeBSD on. P.S.
