No change in the boot process. I have an idea. I use grub to control a triple boot, Windows 7 (warranty) Linux, and FreeBSD 9.0(RC2) The grub menu for FreeBSD is insmod part_gpt insmod ufs_2 set root='(hd1.gpt4)' kfreebsd /boot/kernel/kernel kfreebsd_loadenv /boot/device.hints set kFreeBSD.vfs.root.mountfrom=ufs:/dev/ada1p4 set kFreeBSD.vfs.root.mountfrom.options=rw This bypasses the loader! I need to do some research. Is it possible to load the loader rather than the kernel? So, I guess I have to do a work around. I have rebooted this machine too many times, so I guess I got used to not seeing the beastie. Sorry for missing this. When I figure it out, I will post again. Thanks, tomdean
