Maybe you'll have more luck with grub2 instead of legacy grub? I've compiled the bzr version of grub2 on amd64: all I had to do was to add -L /usr/lib32 at the end stage of linking. However, there's currently a bug in grub2 which prevents it from interpreting and recognizing BSD partitions correctly. It's currently being worked on. http://www.mail-archive.com/grub-devel@gnu.org/msg15595.html http://www.mail-archive.com/grub-devel@gnu.org/msg15644.html http://www.mail-archive.com/grub-devel@gnu.org/msg15661.html http://www.mail-archive.com/grub-devel@gnu.org/msg15715.html -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/
