The issue is that GRUB needs to be installed somewhere. There is more to GRUB than the 512 bytes on the MBR. It needs to read config files off of a filesystem. Where are your config files? are they on a UFS2 filesystem? Or are they on your ext2 file systems? If you have have managed to get a GRUB to read it's config files off of UFS2, let me know, and I will research that area. AFAIK, grub can not read it's config files off of UFS2 filesystem. > [... snip ...] > Cheers, > > --Mark > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" I just had an idea. I still have room to make more slices. I could make a small ext2 slice and mount it to /boot/grub. The only issue with that: Does grub understand BSD Slices? -- greg <gval@mts.net>
