You can even use the standard "windows" mbr, and install GRUB to a floppy which invokes the kernel on your harddisk. There are quite a few site containing very good GRUB install instructions. A general GRUB manual: http://www.mcc.ac.uk/grub/grub_toc.html Article by Georg Wagner: http://www.daemonnews.org/200102/grub.html Also try google ;) Muad-Dib To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
