Hey all, Thanks for all your help thus far, seems I'm down to one (simple) problem. I figured out that in the course of changing which HDD the BIOS used to boot from, the value changed for GRUB. Basically, what is my hardware 1st drive will change to hd1 in grub's eyes if it's set in BIOS as the secondary HDD. This is what was screwing me up. I have it setup now so that I can boot to FreeBSD successfully using GRUB! Here's where my problem lies: Windows XP lies on the entirety of hd1. Even the MBR of hd1 contains the Windows XP boot loader. My entry in my menu.lst file for windows XP contains the following lines of code: #Windows XP title Windows XP Professional rootnoverify (hd1,0) chainloader +1 <--That's a one, not an L) If I attempt to select the Windows XP entry in GRUB, the system completely reboots, bringing me back to the GRUB selection screen. I am continuing to search the web and GRUB docs to find a fix, but I would appreciate it if someone here could help me a little faster.
